Tell EPA: Tighten up Rules on Oil and Gas Wells January 20, 2022
This action alert is no longer active
We urgently need to slash fossil fuel emissions. At the top of the list: reducing emissions of methane, one of the key drivers of climate change.
Now, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers us an opportunity to do just that. EPA has introduced a rule to reduce methane pollution from the oil and gas industry. It’s a good start, but it’s not strong enough.
Please submit brief comments asking EPA to strengthen the rule. We suggest four ways they could do that here. (Plus a request that they speak more honestly about how bad methane’s climate effects are.)
EPA considers the number of individual comments they receive on a rule, so your comment, even if brief, will be counted.
