Methane Rollback Criticised as Boon for Oil and Gas
Original: Methane Rollback Serves Oil, Gas Interests at the Expense of Public Health, Wildlife
US methane emissions protections are being rolled back in a move that conservation and public health advocates say privileges oil and gas producers. The National Wildlife Federation argues the rollback worsens air pollution, threatens communities' health and harms wildlife that depend on protected habitats, warning that weakened methane standards will allow elevated leaks of the potent greenhouse gas from drilling operations.
Why now: Environmental groups are responding to a new regulatory rollback on methane emissions, sparking criticism over its public health and wildlife impacts.
