Clean Water Action and our allies led the charge to get these regulations in place. As California leads the way, the Trump administration is going backwards on this and many other issues, and that’s all the more reason for us to be out in front. Methane is especially critical, because it traps heat about 84 times more than carbon dioxide over 20 years. The regulation also requires operators to capture rather than vent and
