A methane pollution fee on oil and gas faces a cloudy future under Trump
Briefly

"EPA has been engaging with industry, states, and communities to reduce methane emissions so that natural gas ultimately makes it to consumers as usable fuel instead of as a harmful greenhouse gas," Michael Regan, EPA administrator said in a statement.
The EPA says the fees are designed to work in tandem with rules finalized last year that reduce methane pollution from oil and gas operations.
In two years, the fee would increase to $1,500 a metric ton. The agency estimates the new fees will reduce methane emissions by 1.2 million metric tons through 2035."
