E.P.A. to Loosen Methane Rules for Oil Firms (Gift Article)

Preventing methane leaks is in my top five climate solutions. This is very stupid.

Trump lockert Vorschriften für Ölkonzerne zur Reduzierung von Methan, einem starken Treibhausgas Die Biden-Regierung hatte versucht, Methanleckagen, die maßgeblich zum Klimawandel beitragen, einzudämmen. Diese Vorschriften werden nun gelockert.

Why? Who asked for this? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c... #usDemocracy #voices4Victory #dv1

Sheer stupidity.

The hits keep on coming. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c...

Once again, this administration is selling out to the highest bidder at Americans’ expense. As a pulmonologist, I know the damage this will cause: Dirtier air and more people in the hospital. I am committed to using every tool available to reverse this shameful rule change. Stay loud.

Your daily disaster:

This is mustache-twirling, tie-everyone-to-the-railroad-tracks level of evil. Not something you’d expect them to run on as a closing argument to voters. “President Trump is expected to announce the plan at a Tuesday campaign rally in Texas with Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton.”

This is an industry giveaway that won't lower prices, and it’s an insult to the intelligence of voters from a president who just boasted that "we're making a freaking fortune" from high oil and gas prices due to his war in Iran. The only ones winning are Trump and his billionaire Big Oil buddies.

Now he’s moving to make it even easier for these companies to grow their profits by weakening rules designed to stop harmful pollutants from leaking into the air.

Grâce à Trump, les compagnies US n’ont plus l’obligation de colmater les fuites de leurs gazoducs. Ils pourront laisser fuir dans l’atmosphère le méthane, Ges 81 fois plus réchauffant que le CO2. Les US se sont engagés à réduire de 1/3 leurs émissions de méthane. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c...

BREAKING Why doesn't he just burn all the EPA rules? /smh "The Trump admini is set to loosen rules designed to force oil & gas companies to cut their emissions of methane, a gas considered a “super pollutant” because it traps so much heat in the atmosphere. " #EPA #Methan #Blues

🚨 Trump's EPA is rolling back methane rules for oil companies. Methane is a climate super pollutant that traps about 80x more heat in the atmosphere than CO2. This administration is willing to sell out the health and safety of our families and environment in order to reward their Big Oil friends.

I will never get over how much the current head of the Environmental Protection Agency brags about rolling back the regulations that protect the environment. It's like firefighters intentionally burning your house down and then standing on top of your charred corpse and gloating.

🔥 "'Rolling back federal standards means more pollution drifting into the lungs of families living next to wells and flares, and a hotter planet for all of us,' [New Mexico Governor Michelle] Lujan Grisham said." #Methane #Pollution #ClimateCrisis www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c...

Trump is loosening methane rules for oil firms — bad news for the air our kids breathe near wells and flares. Speak up: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/climate/trump-methane-rules-epa-greenhouse-gas.html #CleanAirMoms #ClimateAction

Trump continues to fulfill his campaign promise to give oil and gas oligarchs everything that they want. His EPA proposes to relax methane capture requirements for "marginal wells" that account for only 7% of production but 50% of methane emissions. @bradplumer.bsky.social @nytimes.com 1/

Weakening our ability to restrict methane emissions is not only bad for the environment — it’s bad for business. Most U.S. producers have already adopted methane-reduction tech, giving them a real edge in global markets where responsibly sourced gas is in demand. (1/2)

Yeesh. The targeted wells, the ones nearing end of life, produce about half of the methane releases. Methane is an even more important greenhouse gas. 🌎 www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c...

So much for environmental protection... Methane "traps about 80 times more heat in the atmosphere in the short term than carbon dioxide does. It is responsible for nearly one-third of the rise in global temperatures since the start of the Industrial Revolution". www.nytimes.com/2026/10/27/c...
