Comments Off on Biden, Dems Crack Down on Methane Emissions to Benefit Climate WASHINGTON, DC, June 30, 2021 (ENS) – President Joe Biden signed into law today a Resolution of Disapproval that invalidates the Trump administration’s 2020 Methane Rescission Rule and reinstates two stricter Obama-era methane-emission rules that lower the the amount of methane the oil and gas industry can release from U.S. drilling sites. As a greenhouse gas, methane is up to 84 times more potent than the most plentiful greenhouse gas carbon dioxide. When methane is released into the atmosphere it becomes a contributor to global warming. At the signing ceremony today President Biden said the bill “is going to help us to drastically cut methane pollution.”
