Death by Regulation – EPA Plans to Use Locals to Monitor Methane

Last November the federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) launched what we consider a full-on attack against the oil and gas industry when it floated a plan for new methane regulations (see EPA Launches Massive Power Grab, Targets O&G Methane Emissions). The Biden EPA claims by wresting control of oil and gas regulations from the states and concentrating power in the federal government, the feds will be able to save the planet from man-made global warming. The EPA will force a one-size-fits-all regulation on so-called fugitive methane emissions that all states must comply with. The problem is, EPA doesn't have the money to monitor and enforce their lunatic plan, so they intend to farm it out to Big Green groups and the communities that border O&G activities. Big Green and the locals don't like the sound of that because it means THEY will have to pay for it.
