Overview
With support from the Hewlett Foundation, the Center for American Progress (CAP) will educate policy-makers and the public about methane pollution, a powerful pollutant linked to climate change, from the U.S. oil and gas sector. The U.S. oil and gas industry emits more methane than any other, and emissions will rise if left uncontrolled. CAP's communication efforts will help create the conditions under which federal and state regulatory agencies can adopt safeguards to curb methane emissions from oil and gas operations, helping ensure a cleaner environment for future generations.
