Trump eliminates regulation on methane emissions

President Donald Trump announced a plan to eliminate methane emission regulations, aiming to reduce costs for oil and gas producers. During a rally in Lubbock, Texas, he stated that this move would save $45 billion and increase oil production significantly. The regulations, established by his predecessor Joe Biden, required companies to detect and repair methane leaks and adhere to stricter standards. Trump's proposal seeks to reverse these obligations amid rising fuel prices, influenced by the conflict with Iran. Industry stakeholders have pushed for the removal of emission controls, while environmental groups warn of increased pollution risks.
