The President’s updated strategy to reduce methane emissions is a big step forward in both curbing greenhouse gas emissions and providing a fair return to the American taxpayer. Updated standards for oil and gas wells on public lands could drastically reduce venting and flaring of natural gas—wasteful procedures that squander this valuable resource and costs American taxpayers millions of dollars each year in lost revenue. This wasted resource should be used to heat our homes and not our planet. I am currently working on legislation to provide the administration with additional tools to combat these wasteful and costly procedures.
