EPA Methane Reg of O&G Sector Ignores Far Bigger Emission Sources

Last week the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched what we consider a full-on attack against the oil and gas industry when it unveiled new methane regulations (see EPA Launches Massive Power Grab, Targets O&G Methane Emissions).

Here's the thing: fugitive (escaping) methane from all fossil fuels, which includes oil and gas activity as a subset, is the third-largest source of methane emissions. EPA is ignoring the two largest sources--which emit FAR MORE methane than O&G. Just ignore those emissions behind the curtain.
