Yesterday afternoon, Joe Biden's handlers in the EPA announced a new plan to reduce the methane emissions that are created whenever the energy industry drills deep underground to plunder natural resources for profit.
The proposal, which goes into effect in 2022, is part of an international effort to reduce methane emissions worldwide by 30% by 2030.
Since the plan would be good for the environment, combat the rise in global temperatures, and maybe even keep cities along coastlines hospitable for humans until a new technology comes along to destroy them, Oklahoma's Oil Overlords are adamantly against it.
Here are the details via KOKH:
On Tuesday the Biden Administration announced plans to introduce stronger regulations on oil and gas wells.
The regulations, proposed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), aim to reduce methane emissions...
Potential restrictions on the industry has Brook Simmons, the President of the Petroleum Alliance of Oklahoma, concerned.
“We expect them to be the most stringent emissions requirements on the planet," Simmons said. "These type of rules are just a further burden on Oklahoma oil and gas producers and everyone across the entire sector.”
Know what else is a burden on Oklahoma oil and gas producers??? The end of human civilization as we know it thanks to rising global temperatures caused by global warming!
