Was the Trump administration right to end federal limits on methane emissions from oil and gas drilling?
The Trump administration said on October 28, 2026 that it is terminating a Biden-era rule aimed at reducing methane emissions from oil and gas drilling.
Are you kidding me? Methane is a much more potent driver of climate change than CO2. Ending emissions standards enables short term financial gains for a few producers at the cost of long term consequences for everyone.
Another step backwards.
strongest case for "yes": methane rules cost drillers money they say they'll pass to consumers. who here actually buys that argument versus just liking fewer regulations?
