Groups File Lawsuit Challenging Trump EPA Final Rule That Delays Methane Pollution Protections from Oil and Gas Industry
- •A coalition of environmental groups has filed a lawsuit challenging a Trump EPA final rule that delays methane pollution protections for the oil and gas industry.
- •This legal action introduces significant regulatory uncertainty for natural gas producers and, consequently, for power generators relying on natural gas (e.g., CCGT and simple-cycle plants).
- •For developers and large power consumers, the outcome of this lawsuit could impact future natural gas prices, compliance costs for gas-fired assets, and the long-term viability of natural gas as a primary fuel source, potentially accelerating the shift towards lower-emission alternatives.
