Since 2013, these operators\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/energy\/needless-waste-american-energy-resources\">have wasted more than $1.5 billion<\/a> worth of natural gas that belongs to the American public, with millions in lost royalties as a result.<\/p>\n<p>That comes to more than $1 million every day \u2013 hardly what President Trump had in mind when he promised to maximize our natural resources.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Trump also famously campaigned against the \u201crigged system.\u201d But dismantling policies that prevent private companies from wasting American resources rigs the system in favor of industry and against taxpayers.<\/p>\n<p>Which begs the question, why would Congress take an action that affects our economy and flies in the face of the Trump administration\u2019s explicit goals?<\/p>\n<h4>\u201cWe\u2019re wasting energy and that is troubling\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>Oil and gas operations on public lands cost taxpayers $600 million between 2005 and 2015, according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.taxpayer.net\/images\/uploads\/downloads\/Methane_Report_August_2016_formatted.pdf\">one report<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rep.

According to the president\u2019s energy plan, Trump plans to boost American energy production and to use the revenue to fund public infrastructure improvement projects.<\/p>\n<p>BLM\u2019s policies accomplish exactly this. It also explains why the policies have <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.edf.org\/energyexchange\/2016\/08\/01\/face-the-facts-blm-methane-rules-needed-have-wide-bipartisan-support\/\">received bipartisan support<\/a> from conservationists and fiscal conservatives, along with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.coloradocollege.edu\/stateoftherockies\/conservationinthewest\/\">more than 80\u00a0percent<\/a>\u00a0of Westerners.<\/p>\n<p>So who\u2019s really against the BLM rules? Follow the money.<\/p>\n<h4>Oil lobby spent $118 million to fight rules<\/h4>\n<p>Last year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/lobby\/indusclient.php?id=E01\">oil and gas companies reportedly spent $118 million<\/a>\u00a0lobbying against policies that protect the public from unintended consequences from energy development. In fact, the polluter lobby filed a lawsuit against BLM within 30 minutes of the policies being finalized,\u00a0arguing that regulations are unnecessary as the industry is naturally incentivized not to waste product.<\/p>\n<p>But the massive amount of gas currently being wasted tells a different story, not to mention the fact that the problem can easily be rectified given the affordable and proven technologies on the market today to stop this waste.<\/p>\n<p>Some jurisdictions such as Colorado already require companies to address natural gas waste and operators there say these policies\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/energy\/we-have-solutions-reduce-energy-waste\">haven\u2019t hurt<\/a> their bottom line. They\u2019ve also created new jobs: There are already\u00a0500 companies that develop, manufacture and sell methane control technologies in the U.S. today.<\/p>\n<p>Using the Congressional Review Act to rescind BLM\u2019s energy policies runs in direct opposition to the very ideals that Republican leaders claim to support. It\u2019s a blunt, misplaced effort that undermines American taxpayers, threatens our energy security and causes irreparable damage to the environment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This post originally appeared on the EDF Voices blog.
