"The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is delaying the implementation of restrictions on planet-warming methane emissions from oil and gas drilling as it considers unwinding the requirements entirely.
The Biden administration issued a rule that requires oil and gas drillers to take steps to limit leaks and, at new wells, to phase out the routine burning of excess gas, also known as flaring.
The rule was expected to cut down on methane emissions and also to reduce releases of toxic air pollutants.
This week, the Trump administration quietly issued an interim final rule that pushes back the policy's compliance deadlines."
