Trump announces elimination of Biden's regulation on methane emissions
President Trump announced plans to eliminate methane emission regulations established by Biden, aiming to reduce costs for oil and gas producers. He stated this move would save $45 billion and increase oil production significantly. The Biden regulations required companies to detect and repair methane leaks and conduct regular inspections. Trump's proposal seeks to reverse these obligations, although it is unclear if the measure is in effect. This decision comes amid rising fuel prices and pressure from the oil industry, while environmental groups warn of increased pollution risks.
