Mother Jones reports that the EPA, under Administrator Lee Zeldin, is preparing to roll back methane emissions rules for the oil and gas industry, including the super-emitter monitoring program that flags major methane leaks. Environmental advocates describe the move as a significant concession to fossil fuel companies, weakening a key climate safeguard while methane is among the most potent greenhouse gases.
Why now: News of a major environmental deregulation affecting the powerful oil and gas industry draws strong attention from climate and policy watchers.
