Obama Administration to Unveil Plans to Cut Methane Emissions
By CORAL DAVENPORT
WASHINGTON In President Obamas latest move using executive authority to tackle climate change, administration officials are announcing plans this week to impose new regulations on the oil and gas industrys emissions of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
The administrations goal is to cut methane emissions from oil and gas production by up to 45 percent by 2025 from the levels recorded in 2012, according to a person familiar with Mr. Obamas plans.
The Environmental Protection Agency will issue the proposed regulations this summer, and final regulations by 2016, according to the person, whom the administration asked not to speak about the plan. The White House declined to comment on the effort.
The new rules are part of Mr. Obamas push for regulations designed to cut emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases from different sectors of the economy. The White House says it can make the moves under the Clear Air Act.

No more cows??
Is he going to put a cork in his bu$$?
Correct. Eat mor chikun....
Maybe Moochelle & co. will eat less broccoli from the WH garden? There's a reason GHB wouldn't have it on the WH menu, and I think it was methane.
What a coincidence!
I am sick and tired of this a**wipe and all of his edicts and shenanigans! Throw the Muslim bum out into the street!
Methane: No no. Iran getting nukes: Yes yes yes. Perfectly OK to our environmentally conscious POTUS.
[[The Environmental Protection Agency will issue the proposed regulations this summer,]]
Why wil lthey issue these regulations? Can they prove that 0.0007% of our atmosphere is causing global climate change? No? Then how do they have the authority to issue ANYTHING that will severely affect EVERYONE in the name of climate change?
Yes it is.
Hasn't he heard, we already tackled climate change; the polar bears are safe now.
Cow farting will now become illegal so only criminal cows will fart. Book 'em Dano!
“No more cows??
No he is sending Muchell to China for the next two years
I don’t think that he really “got the message”.
Thought sure this piece was gonna be satire.
It’s unbelievable isn’t it. We got a POTUS that is going to steal our money by using the excuse that fart gas that doesn’t exist in the atmosphere, is going to destroy the earth. I talked to a chemist once who said 0.00017% is so small that if you drank a glass of water that contained 0.00017% cyanide, you would live, you wouldn’t even feel it. Cyanide, the stuff the Nazis use to commit suicide with. That’s how small 0.00017% is and this piece of rat filth is using that non-number as excuse to steal money and he’ll probably get away with it because we have a Congress that doesn’t work for the people anymore thanks to the RINO party.
LOL! That is so true, that is exactly the nonsense he is selling.
