The agency estimates that in 2030, the proposal would reduce methane from covered sources by 87 percent below 2005 levels. Oil and natural gas operations are also significant sources of other health-harming air pollutants, including smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and toxic air pollutants such as benzene.

Finally, this industry has fugitive emissions of methane and the burning of gas releases carbon dioxide. Released from a lot of federal oversight, it left this big, blank slate for states to regulate the industry in whatever manner suited them. And finally, many of the resources from this industry are going into plastics production.
