The Environmental Protection Agency is working to craft a new rule to tackle methane and associated pollution from new and existing oil and gas operations, and they want to hear from you. Methane pollution from the oil and gas industry is fueling the climate crisis, and threatening the health and safety of our communities. It's time to do something about it. We need you to let EPA know that they can cut methane from oil and gas now, by submitting a written comment ahead of the September rule-making.  We have the tools and technology to cut methane pollution from the oil and gas sector by as much as 65 percent below 2012 levels by 2025, but there is no time to waste. Each year, the oil and gas industry releases 16 million metric tons of methane into the atmosphere, and without swift federal action, methane pollution from the industry will continue to skyrocket.  Comments must be submitted before July 30, 2021. Submit your comment here
