President Trump tried to bury this news right before Labor Day weekend!
The Trump administration laid out a plan to gut regulations on methane emissions -- one of THE biggest contributors to climate change.
Trump's EPA quietly announced a proposed rule that would eliminate federal requirements on Big Oil and Gas to install technology to fix and detect methane leaks within wells, pipelines, and storage facilities. It also questions whether the EPA even has the legal authority to regulate methane as a pollutant. Seriously.
We know this is just the latest example of the Trump administration's rollback of environmental policies -- and one more proof point in their fight to deny climate change.
From opening millions of acres of public land and water to drilling -- including our coastlines and the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge -- to weakening the Endangered Species Act, there's no bar too low for this administration in terms of hurting our environment.
