The Trump administration’s move to roll back regulations on methane has divided the oil-and-gas industry

The Trump administration’s move to roll back regulations on methane has divided the energy industry, with large companies saying restrictions are crucial to curtail leaks of the potent greenhouse gas and smaller producers calling them too costly.

Many of the world’s biggest energy companies expressed disappointment with the Trump administration’s decision to erase rules that sought to limit leaks of methane from oil-and-gas operations.

llstudent08 Gee, could this be a directive to Trump from Charles Koch by chance?

Knowing what we know about how green house gases (especially methane) CAUSE ClimateBreakdown, rolling back any restriction aimed at reducing these dangerous emissions is akin to humanity genocide. We are in a ClimateEmergency! Please ClimateStrike on September 20 & 28!

Criminal

Let each company follow its conscience and its business plan.

Of COURSE they did because the roll back levels the playing field for smaller companies.

...and united every reputable scientist, environmentalist, and anyone who gives the slightest shit about the future of the planet *against* this garbage idea

Ya he is creating a lot of methane when he speaks.

Seems that every thing this President does is his fault. Have you thought that there are issues that you over looked and/or ignored? The market tariffs were not required. The global economy has been set back in part by this. Stop with the blame game and do your job. ♀️

This is sad Trump has nothing for climate change he denies the science then calls himself an environmentalist

Good. It has put us at a major competitive disadvantage with almost no benefit.

Anything to pollute the environment, just so long as it lines his pockets or the pockets of his swamp cronies.
