Obama targets oil and gas industry, demands massive reduction in methane emissions

Once again placing himself firmly on the side of environmentalists and opposite the oil and gas industry, President Obama on Wednesday rolled out long-awaited regulations to dramatically cut methane emissions over the next decade.

The move, just days before the State of the Union address, gives a clear indication that Mr. Obama wants to cement his legacy on climate change over the final two years of his presidency. Having already targeted power plants, cars and other sources of pollution, the administration is pushing regulations that will carry serious repercussions for the oil and gas sector, one of the greatest economic success stories of the past 10 years.

It figures that Obama would target the most successful businesses in the past 10 years. Methane gas is a natural occurrence and leaks from the earth every day, especially under the oceans. One volcanic eruption puts out more than we could produce in 1000 years.

There would be a lot less methane if Nobama, Sharpton the tax cheat and Holder would shut their pie holes.

I dont see the king or any of his entourage riding in a Prius or any other hybrid vehicle. How much emissions do you think his jet puts out flying to Hawaii and China for vacation?
