    Trump Administration Overturns Rules on Methane Leaks

    Methane leaks from oil and gas wells will no longer be regulated in the US, as the Trump administration rolls back a set of environmental rules even in the face of opposition from large energy companies.

    Andrew Wheeler, the head of the US Environmental Protection Agency, announced on Thursday that oil and gas production facilities would no longer have to monitor methane leaks.

    Methane traps heat in the atmosphere 25 times more effectively than carbon dioxide and accounts for 10 per cent of US greenhouse gas emissions.
