Trump Announces Rollback of Biden-Era Methane Emission Rules for Oil and Gas
US President Donald Trump announced plans to roll back Biden-era methane emission rules for oil and gas operations, aiming to boost domestic energy production and reduce costs for producers and consumers by an estimated $45 billion. The proposed changes include eliminating the EPA's Super Emitter Program and easing standards for smaller wells. Environmental groups warn this could increase greenhouse gas emissions, while the administration emphasizes energy security amid high fuel prices linked to the Iran conflict. The rollback is part of broader efforts to dismantle previous climate policies.
