Don’t Let the Senate Waste the BLM Methane Rule!

The Clean Air Task Force opposes the repeal of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Methane Waste Rule via the Congressional Review Act. The organization argues that the rule saves up to 41 billion cubic feet of natural gas annually, increasing royalties for states and tax revenue for the federal government. Furthermore, it claims the rule supports small businesses specializing in waste mitigation technology, such as infrared cameras, and notes that a majority of voters in Western states oppose the rollback.

• The Methane Waste Rule's requirements for venting and flaring could save up to 41 billion cubic feet (Bcf) of gas annually, which is sufficient to supply approximately 740,000 households.
