Trump says he's ending methane restrictions on oil drilling

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

President Donald Trump says his administration is ending restrictions on methane emissions from oil drilling, rolling back rules targeting one of the most potent climate-warming gases. The move is expected to draw sharp criticism from climate scientists and environmental groups, while oil producers may welcome reduced regulatory costs. Debate is likely over the environmental impact and the legality of dismantling existing emissions rules.

Why now: Rolling back methane regulations is a significant climate policy reversal with global environmental and economic implications.
