US Senate Votes to Repeal Trump Methane Rules

摘要

The US Senate on Wednesday voted 52-42 in favor of repealing Trump-era rules on methane emissions from the oil and natural gas sector, giving US President Joe Biden a freer hand to tackle the issue. Last year the administration of former President Donald Trump finalized a watered-down version of Obama-era methane rules on oil and gas wells, storage tanks and other equipment at new facilities (OD Mar.25’21).
