Gary Palmer (R-AL), a member of the Science, Space and Technology Subcommittee on Environment, strongly opposes the EPA’s newly proposed rule on methane emissions that will apply to new or modified oil or natural gas sources. The effect will be to discourage the development of America’s vast untapped energy reserves and to increase the cost of energy. This will disproportionately hurt the poorest and most vulnerable Americans.
