CBS: Facing significant budget cuts and an incoming Republican Congress determined to limit her authority, Environmental Protection Agency head Gina McCarthy might be expected to sound a bit chastened. She doesn't. In an exclusive interview with CBS News, McCarthy, who became EPA administrator in 2013, defended her agency's plans to reduce carbon emissions from coal-fired power plants, strengthen ozone standards and regulate leaks of methane. "It's my job to explain to people why what we are...

EPA methane rules wont hit gas utilities, industry predicts
2014-12-12 15:00:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
Hill: Natural gas utilities arent expecting to be affected very much by potential methane leak regulations from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Leaders from the American Gas Association (AGA) said that utilities, also known as the downstream part of the supply chain, account for less than a quarter of a percent of all methane leaks in the country. And the costs of reducing leaks from utilities would outweigh many of the benefits of reducing the potent greenhouse gas. Down at our end...

New Studies Close in Methane Leaks and Bolster Calls Strong EPA Rules
2014-12-10 19:41:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
New York Times: A new peer-reviewed analysis of sources of leaks in natural gas drilling and well operations strongly bolsters growing calls for the Environmental Protection Agency to settle on regulations cutting wasteful, harmful emissions of methane from both new and existing oil and natural gas wells. Methane is the main constituent of natural gas but also a powerful heat-trapping gas that is often accompanied by other pollutants that can worsen local air pollution. The study, by researchers at the University...
