Court orders EPA to move forward on methane rule
A DC Circuit panel ruled EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt overstepped his authority by delaying a 2016 rule requiring oil and gas firms to monitor and cut methane leaks. The court ordered the rule to take effect, rejecting the 90 day delay and any two year extension, while noting industry groups had opportunity to comment. The decision emphasizes environmental protections over corporate interests in regulating methane emissions from fossil fuels.
