The Trump administration wants to loosen Biden-era methane rules that small oil producers say make many older wells too costly to keep running.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to ease requirements on low-producing wells and scrap a program that relies on outside groups to flag large methane leaks, according to agency materials. The agency estimates its plan would save $45 billion.
