WLN Responds to U.S. Senate’s Failure to Block EPA’s Delay of Commonsense Methane Safeguards

EPA methane safeguards would cut climate pollution, protect frontline communities from oil and gas pollution

“The Senate bypassed an important opportunity to stop the EPA’s delay of commonsense safeguards that would protect communities from the health, economic, and environmental impacts of oil and gas pollution. The EPA rule to cut methane and other emissions has broad, bipartisan support among local, tribal, and state elected officials who want clean air and a healthier climate for their constituents. We thank the Senators who stood up for public interests and voted to stop this misguided delay.” – Liane Jollon, Western Leaders Network Executive Director
