Congress repeals EPA methane fee rule, enforcement uncertain

Congress has voted to repeal the EPA’s rule enforcing a methane emissions fee on oil and gas companies, sending the measure to President Trump, who is expected to sign it. The Senate approved the resolution 52-47 after the House passed it 220-206. While the Inflation Reduction Act mandates the fee, the EPA can no longer enforce it under the overturned rule. Legal challenges are ongoing, and industry groups are pushing for full repeal of the fee through budget legislation.
