Trump Announces Rollback of Methane Emission Rules for Oil and Gas Industry

In a series of statements during a Texas campaign rally, Trump unveiled plans to roll back Biden-era regulations on methane emissions from oil drilling. He claims that these changes, which include easing restrictions on methane leaks from oil firms, could result in significant cost savings of up to $45 billion. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is set to propose revisions to current methane regulations, which have faced criticism for potentially benefiting large oil and gas companies at the expense of environmental protections. Governor Newsom emphasized the importance of tracking methane emissions as these regulatory rollbacks unfold. Trump asserts that the decision aims to lower energy costs amidst a shifting political landscape in Texas.
