The Fight Against Methane

Guest

Cate Hight

Principal at RMI

In late June, Congress voted to undo former President Trump’s rollback of methane regulations that were put in place during the Obama Era. 

The move was a major milestone, but federal methane rules are just the beginning, and the battle to curb methane emissions promises big shifts for the entire natural gas industry.

Host Bill Loveless speaks with Cate Hight, Principal at RMI, the Rocky Mountain Institute.

They spoke about the technology behind figuring out how much methane is in the atmosphere in the first place and the levers of policy and power that need to be pulled in order to curb emissions.
