WASHINGTON, DC, June 30, 2021 (ENS) – President Joe Biden signed into law today a Resolution of Disapproval that invalidates the Trump administration’s 2020 Methane Rescission Rule and reinstates two stricter Obama-era methane-emission rules that lower the the amount of methane the oil and gas industry can release from U.S. drilling sites.
