EU Weighs Delaying Methane Rules as Energy Prices Rise

The rules, part of the bloc's efforts to cut methane leaks from oil and gas operations, could face delays amid affordability concerns. Climate advocates worry a postponement would weaken the EU's emissions reduction commitments, while industry has pushed for flexibility given high energy costs.
Why now: Rising energy prices are reigniting debate over the cost of the EU's climate regulations.
