Senate Fails to Protect American People from Methane Regulation

WASHINGTON – Today the Senate failed to move forward on a Congressional Review Act resolution to nullify the Bureau of Land Management’s costly methane regulation. American Energy Alliance President Thomas Pyle issued the following statement:

“The Senate just squandered an opportunity to protect American workers and families from a regulation aimed at making energy more expensive. The evidence against this regulation is overwhelming. Not only does this regulation fall outside of the BLM’s jurisdiction, but the energy sector is already significantly reducing methane emissions without this top-down directive from the federal government. The cost of complying with this regulation will ultimately fall on the shoulders of the American people. Fortunately, the fight isn’t over. It’s now up to the Trump administration to do what the Senate failed to do and protect the American people from this unnecessary and costly regulation.”
