EPA Pegs Methane Rollback at $45 Billion a Year; Biden Officials Cite 58 Million Tons Avoided

The EPA says rescinding the Biden-era methane leak policy would save $45 billion a year. Biden-era officials estimate it would prevent 58 million tons of methane emissions by 2038. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas. The figures measure different things and cannot be netted. The Trump administration is expected to announce the loosening October 27; no rule is final yet.
