What happened
The Trump administration is proposing to scale back a rule finalized by the Biden administration in 2023 that aimed to cut methane emissions from oil and gas drilling sites nationwide. The administration states that this revision, under the Clean Air Act, would save the industry billions in production costs and encourage more domestic drilling.
