Republican Senator Susan Collins (Maine) has joined
Democrats to overturn a Trump administration rollback of methane emissions.
This week, the GOP senator said she will co-sponsor
legislation to axe the Trump-era rule by using the Congressional Review Act
(CRA). The CRA would allow Congress to get rid of regulations completed in the
prior 60 legislative days
The rule had eased regulations on U.S. energy producers as
part of President Trump’s greater effort to roll back a series of Obama-era
policies. It lifted requirements to monitor and limit methane leaks from wells,
pipelines and other operations.
Collins has joined Democrats to once again limit methane
emissions as they battle so-called climate change.
