'It's the right thing to do for the planet,' wrote the chairwoman and president of BP America in defence of federal regulations.

so large that even oil companies are objecting to the change.

But oil and gas bigwigs don't support the change. Susan Dio, the chairwoman and president of BP America, wrote an opinion piece for the"It's the right thing to do for the planet," she wrote."The best way to help further reduce and ultimately eliminate methane emissions industry wide is through direct federal regulation of new and existing sources."

The administration's new rule change could hurt the entire industry."The reputation of American natural gas is at the precipice, and methane rollbacks are the shove," Ben Ratner, a senior director with the Environmental Defense Fund, toldBut it's likely that smaller companies, however, will benefit, at least temporarily, from this particular rollback.

Americans must end the Trump Destruction of the Environment, Wildlife and the World. He is the real Antichrist intent on only destroying the planet for the Elite Rich’s monitory gain.

Huge oil and gas conglomerates object because their smaller competition doesn’t have the capital to meet these requirements. Excessive regulations are used to stifle competition and promote oligopolies

Are they objecting because those were rules the oil and gas companies wanted in place to keep their market positions from being threatened by better, but smaller, businesses?

yeah..they object because they were trying to portray natural gas as a ' clean' fuel

There may be something we can all do to reverse the climate crisis and economic disparity. My book explains what that is.

If they object, they can self regulate

Of course...Mr. Trump is a business person, first and foremost. Profit is the ultimate goal. Good, bad, indifferent, he will seek profit over other interests.

For what purpose? It doesn't help the economy. It doesn't help 'everyday Americans.' It seems fit the superlatives the President repeats. We all have character flaws and we all fall short but the President has no redeeming qualities.

The gov’t argued the regs were redundant - duplicating other legislation - which seems wrong because if that were true the big players would be fine with the harmonization of regulations. Clearly this isn’t a harmonization.

At least the cows are going to be happy

If you don’t care... you’re not paying attention.

Surge in young Republicans worried about the environment ...

Sounds like oil and gas companies should do what they think is best. He’s not making them relax their regulations.

Killing us one day at a time 🥴

He just gave more leeway... They can choose who far back they want to go up to that point.

Coucou bonsoir comment allez vous ?

Putin told him to. He does whatever Vlad says. A stupid puppet. POTUS

Trump's goal is to destroy what's left of our world. It's disgusting what he and the GOP have done to our country and the environment. Sometimes I think they are trying to hasten the end of the world, believing Christ will come and save us all.

President Bartlet never did this.

Considering the toxic gas drumpf emits every time he opens his mouth, it seems to fit his needs. 🤢

🖕😡

Why would they object? It's almost like everyone involved in that industry knows they're totally destroying humanity's future, or something.

More 'ready, fire, aim'...

Where does he find these creatures that support this stuff?

cherokeesher2 'Make Methane Great Again' I suppose...?

cherokeesher2

'I hire the best people'.

Good! I hope he rolls back regulations on gasoline and drops the price back to where it was in the 1980’s.

You wonder why billionaires buy mega yachts? Question answered.

Very crooked administration. Trump is an outlaw

I have to appreciate the apparent lunatic state of our time when BP is objecting to rolling back measures that help the plant.

vedadalsette It revives the 1880s To 1930s Standards which is both wrong, but makes me wonder if Trump will also reverse standards electricity and set standards for Income Level of homes where homes dated earlier than 1980 restore Knob & Tube Wiring and use older light bulbs again?

Some just want to see it all burn.

Trump is insane

They rolled regulations back because Trump doesn't believe we're dumping enough methane gases into the air? Or did Trump roll back the methane regulations just out of spite....just to taunt his perceived enemies? Governing with malicious intent is what Trump supporters love.

It'll stop when Manhattan starts flooding...and then it'll be too late.
