We're referring to the EQB's adoption of onerous new regulations that supposedly will capture every last molecule of stray methane that leaks from shale drilling operations (see PA EQB Approves Final Onerous Methane Regs Harming Conv Drillers). The EQB voted yesterday to advance a rule that only affects shale sites and related equipment--not conventional drilling.
