A new rule restricts releases of methane from companies that have leases to extract fossil fuels from federal lands

This is exactly the kind of thing that you see Democratic administrations do, but not Republican ones.

    Climate town just released a huge video on this. Seems kinda like a step in the right direction.

    Silly. The limit should be 0. You can take no gas that you don’t pay for. You can vent/leak no methane except for emergencies, some tiny fraction of leak/well or pipe distance. If you flare gas you have to pay for both the gas you took and the lost utility of the gas to other users.

    And that’s not even getting to addressing climate issues.
