Methane is the second largest contributor to the climate crisis, and it is 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Cutting methane pollution from the oil and gas industry is the fastest way to slow climate change. After years of advocacy, the Biden administration finalized a strong methane rule that will cut millions of tons of methane emissions, safeguard public health, and advance environmental justice. Send a message to thank the Biden administration for taking a critical step to cut methane pollution from oil and gas production.
Each year, fossil fuel companies leak or deliberately vent 13 million metric tons of methane into the atmosphere during oil and gas operations. Not only does methane pollution from the oil and gas industry jeopardize the continued habitability of our planet, but its extraction poisons communities. Methane is released alongside toxic pollutants such as benzene, formaldehyde, and ethylbenzene, which can cause debilitating health problems for millions of people.
So, these strong methane standards from the Biden administration are essential to curb climate pollution and better protect the health and safety of workers and communities living near fossil fuel extraction. This cost-effective rule is grounded in EPA’s longstanding authority under the Clean Air Act, and Earthjustice and our partners are prepared to defend it from unfounded industry attacks.
Tell the Biden administration that you will be there to defend this rule and will continue fighting for strong climate and health protections from the harms of fossil fuels.
