White House Unveils Plans to Cut Methane Emissions

President Obama and his administration have announced a new plan in which methane emissions will be significantly reduced. This plan is another part of what the White House plans to build to take action toward reducing climate change problems.  Methane in the United States has been increasing in recent years mainly though hydraulic fracturing and this gas can lead to more entrapment of infrared energy in Earth. The EPA and the white house will work together on this plan by updating standards and making them stricter. The EPA believes that these plans will be completed by 2016, right before President Obama will leave office.
