EPA Says Undoing Methane Rule Saves $45 Billion a Year; Biden Officials Cite 58 Million Tons Prevented

Canceling the Biden-era methane leak rule would save $45 billion a year, the EPA says. Biden-era officials estimate it would prevent 58 million tons of methane, a heat-trapping gas, from escaping by 2038. The two numbers measure different things, so they cannot be combined. The Trump administration is expected to announce the change October 27; no rule is final yet.
