Trump to propose relaxing methane rules for oil and gas industry
Donald Trump is set to propose easing federal methane regulations on the oil and gas industry. The move would loosen restrictions requiring energy companies to control leaks of methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Environmental groups are expected to criticize the proposal, while industry players have long argued the rules are costly and burdensome.
Why now: The proposal signals a significant deregulatory shift in US environmental policy affecting a major industry and climate emissions.
