"Trump Regulators Trigger Pollution Fight"

"The fight over former President Barack Obama’s methane agenda has moved to the courts.

The Trump administration last week took two major steps toward wiping a pair of Obama-era methane pollution rules off the books.

Environmental groups have sued to stop President Trump from nixing the rules, though the oil and gas industry has stepped up to defend the administration’s actions.

Taken together, observers expect a raucous, lengthy legal fight over the standards, which were a key part of Obama’s climate change agenda."
