The BlueGreen Alliance Responds to the Environmental Protection Agency’s Request For Information on the Methane Emissions Reduction Program
The historic level of funding that the Inflation Reduction Act allocated to the Methane Emissions Reduction Program presents numerous opportunities for the EPA to make investments that will take steps to prioritize workers, communities, and the environment.
Reducing methane emissions in the United States is an example of how America’s environmental challenges can also be economic opportunities. Investing in methane mitigation will not just make workers and communities around the facilities safer and healthier, but will also generate and support quality, family-sustaining jobs. Implementing MERP is a win-win-win situation. With this program, workers and communities will be protected, jobs will be created, and our nation will take another concrete step toward reducing air pollution and the emissions driving climate change.
