Tell President Biden: Enact Strong Methane Standards
The science is clear that in addition to stopping new extraction, we must take immediate action to stop methane pollution from every part of the fossil fuel supply chain. President Biden publicly committed to cut methane pollution from oil and gas production, and now he must enact the strongest possible EPA safeguards and enforcement to make this promise real. Urge Biden to enact the strongest possible rules to cut oil and gas methane pollution ASAP.
To: U.S. President Joe Biden
From: [Your Name]
Dear President Biden,
The science is clear that in addition to stopping new extraction, we must take immediate action to stop methane pollution from every part of the fossil fuel supply chain, as methane is 80 times as damaging to the climate as carbon dioxide. We appreciation your public commitment to cut methane pollution from oil and gas production. That must mean using the full force of the Clean Air Act to enact the strongest possible rule from your Environmental Protection Agency, coupled with the resources to ensure enforcement to make this promise real.
We urge you to immediately begin enforcing existing regulations to limit methane, enact the strongest possible methane regulations as soon as possible, and emphasize the importance of constraining methane pollution while also stopping the expansion of new oil and gas infrastructure.
