From the Clean Air Council (http://www.cleanair.org/):
Methane is fueling the climate crisis, and we need you to tell President Biden to fight back with the strongest methane rules possible for the oil and gas industry. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and a major contributor to the devastating impacts of the climate crisis we are already experiencing.
Tell President Biden you support the strongest methane rules possible for oil and gas at https://cleanaircouncil.salsalabs.org/strong-methane-rules/index.html.
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) proposed rules to cut methane from the oil and gas industry need to be as strong as possible. Yet, the draft methane rules include a loophole that would allow half a million low-producing wells to go unchecked and leak millions of tons of methane per year. These wells make up nearly 50% of all methane pollution from the oil and gas industry.
The EPA has a major opportunity to cut methane emissions from the oil and gas industry, but they need to act now before it’s too late. Call on President Biden to close this loophole and ensure that the revised draft rule is released for public comment as soon as possible.
