This is really good news. Methane release has been under the radar for far too long.

MODERATORS
its crazy honestly that this has not been a requirement for decades previous to now.
But we're still going to subsidize livestock farming, right?
Changing that requires an act of Congress
Taco Bell is going to lobby hard against this.
It dodges that by only applying to the fossil fuels industry
You’re sure they’re not specifically targeting the crunch wrap supreme?
Of course, all the cheese there is plastic not just that one monstrosity
Not at this time. We do need to address methane from agriculture, but it's not happening yet.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ms. Harris did not mention that new regulation in her remarks, which ran just under five minutes, and came before what was set to be an afternoon of sideline discussions with Middle Eastern leaders centered on the war between Israel and Hamas.
Some groups at the summit also noted the fragility of Ms. Harris’s promise that the United States would send $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund, which benefits poorer nations.
White House officials would not say on Saturday when or how the president would ask Congress to fund this new request, at a time when lawmakers are constrained by spending caps Mr. Biden negotiated with Republicans during a fight over the nation’s borrowing limit this year.
Fred Krupp, the president of the Environmental Defense Fund, an advocacy group, called the policy “the most impactful climate rule that the United States has ever adopted in terms of addressing temperatures we would otherwise see.”
“Federal overreach to advance a misguided climate agenda has become a staple of the Biden administration,” Senator Shelley Moore Capito, Republican of West Virginia, said in a statement.
“The international community has a responsibility to support the emerging economies in their strategy to phase out coal,” Emmanuel Macron, the president of France, said in a meeting about the effort with the leaders of Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia.
