The Trump administration plans to roll back federal requirements aimed at
sharply cutting methane emissions from oil and gas extraction, framing the move
as a step to boost domestic energy production and reduce costs, a U.S. official
said. Trump is expected to announce the proposed rule at a campaign rally in
Lubbock, Texas, on Tuesday. The proposal follows lobbying by the oil industry
for relaxed methane controls in Texas, the U.S.'s largest oil-producing state.
