The Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to adopt new rules that would rescind regulations for methane-gas emissions, including ending requirements that oil-and-gas producers have systems and procedures to detect methane leaks in their systems, senior administration officials said.
The rule changes will apply to wells drilled since 2016 and going forward, and remove the largest pipelines, storage sites and other parts of the transmission system from EPA oversight of smog and greenhouse-gas emissions. The changes also ease reporting requirements for the industry and, for some facilities, how often a plant must check for leaks of other pollutants, the officials said.

Can we get real lightbulbs back
The Trump Administration has gutted all protections for the environment.
Greedy companies can destroy the water, air, and soil in pursuit of profits.
This puts profits over life support systems and the entire ecosystem.
Facism at work

The Trump administration has undone all the damage Obummer did.
That's all.
Trump has had to mop up all of Obamas messes. He ruined our country and thank God, Trump came along and fixed a big part of it,. He still has some work to do and would, if the enemy dems. would let him. To fix the mess overnight that took obama 8 years to mess up is impossible, but Trump has done great so far. 4 more years of Trump and he will have fixed it all and America will truly be great again!!
