What do you think about his methane proposal ?

Stan Dempsey, president of the Colorado Petroleum Association, was part of a larger group negotiating the air-pollution rule, but his group only found out about Hickenlooper’s plan Monday morning.

“We didn’t even know about it,” Dempsey said. “This came as a surprise.”

I think the methane proposal came about because the big producers wanted to cut a deal for a rule that was harsh but they could live with versus something crazy they could not.

I understand why they did it, but I personally think it's ridiculous. It goes way too far, but methane is a target in the age of globull warming hysteria.
