Trump moves to end methane restrictions on oil drilling

Original: Trump says he's ending restrictions on climate-warming methane from oil drilling

President Trump has announced he is ending restrictions on methane emissions from oil drilling, rolling back climate rules that limited leaks of the potent greenhouse gas. The move is expected to draw criticism from environmental groups and could face legal challenges, while industry groups have long argued the regulations were costly and unnecessary.
