Duplicative Methane Regulations Disadvantage North Dakota Energy Workers
Last week I spoke against returning to duplicative methane emissions regulations that disadvantage North Dakota energy workers.
The real problem with these Obama era policies coming back is, not only are they duplicative regulations, but they actually stifle innovation. One thing state regulators can do significantly better than the federal government is respond quickly and adapt. So when an industry comes to you and says ‘hey I have a way to do this better’, they will work with you, they will get it done. We see it happen every single day in the oil patch in western North Dakota.
