The Trump Administration just weakened rules designed to keep dangerous methane gas from leaking out of oil and gas wells and into our communities, making it easier for bad actors to take advantage of our rural communities. Here in Pennsylvania, we know that you don’t have to choose between creating energy jobs and protecting our environment. We’ve plugged 500 abandoned oil and gas wells — more than the previous 12 years combined — and we’re strengthening our standards to ensure companies follow the law and protect Pennsylvanians’ health. I’m prepared to fight back on this reckless move — and in the meantime, no matter what the Trump Administration does, we’ll keep working to plug these dangerous wells, reduce methane pollution, and protect Pennsylvanians’ clean air and pure water.
