Will Trump mend or end federal methane rules?

?

This paper explores the considerations that the Trump administration will face in deciding whether to rescind the regulations altogether or in substantial part (effectively ending them) or to make more surgical changes to the rules (mending them). The paper outlines several possible legislative and regulatory scenarios, and highlights key decision points to monitor. The paper also analyzes the broader context for federal methane regulations.
