The EPA’s new rules to reduce methane emissions from the nation’s oil and gas industry could be a climate game changer. Methane has also emerged as a concern for the oil and gas companies and investors whose assets emit it. A well-designed rule will help drive material methane emission reductions this decade and beyond.
