House votes
REGULATING OIL AND NATURAL GAS: The House has passed a resolution (S.J. Res. 14), sponsored by Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., to disapprove of and nullify a September 2020 Environmental Protection Agency rule concerning methane emissions and oil and natural gas production. A supporter, Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., D-N.J., said the rule, by removing direct limits on the emissions, would exacerbate the climate crisis. An opponent, Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., said cancelling the rule would do little to protect the environment or reduce methane emissions, but would harm American energy security by discouraging natural gas and oil production. The vote, on June 25, was 229 yeas to 191 nays.
