It\u2019s a move that was supported by public health groups, environmental organizations, frontline and disproportionately impacted communities and even the oil and gas industry, and sends an incredibly strong message from the nation\u2019s number two oil-producing state that it\u2019s taking pollution and energy waste seriously.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Step up leak inspections across the board<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Colorado also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/media\/powerful-new-oil-and-gas-rules-colorado-sets-bar-nation-leading-protections\">recently improved its standards<\/a> for leak inspections. In 2014, the state became the first in the nation to implement methane standards for oil and gas sites and served as a model that other states have followed. However, Colorado recently moved even further and now requires smaller wells with leak prone equipment to receive regular inspections and \u2014 like New Mexico \u2014 also requires more routine leak inspections for well sites located in close proximity to homes and schools. Regularly monitoring sites for gas leaks and then fixing any issues is one of the fastest, cheapest climate solutions that exists and it helps improve air quality for the communities who live and work in energy-producing regions.<\/p>\n<span class='bctt-click-to-tweet'><span class='bctt-ctt-text'><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.edf.org%2Fenergyexchange%2F2022%2F05%2F05%2Flessons-from-new-mexico-and-colorados-leading-methane-rules%2F&#038;text=Lessons%20from%20New%20Mexico%20and%20Colorado%E2%80%99s%20leading%20methane%20rules&#038;via=EDFEnergyEx&#038;related=EDFEnergyEx' target='_blank'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lessons from New Mexico and Colorado\u2019s leading methane rules <\/a><\/span><a href='https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblogs.edf.org%2Fenergyexchange%2F2022%2F05%2F05%2Flessons-from-new-mexico-and-colorados-leading-methane-rules%2F&#038;text=Lessons%20from%20New%20Mexico%20and%20Colorado%E2%80%99s%20leading%20methane%20rules&#038;via=EDFEnergyEx&#038;related=EDFEnergyEx' target='_blank' class='bctt-ctt-btn'rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Share on X<\/a><\/span>\n<p><strong>Eliminate routine flaring<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Both Colorado and New Mexico have also taken steps to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.edf.org\/media\/groundbreaking-move-colorado-ends-routine-flaring\">eliminate routine flaring<\/a>.

As Europe looks for replacements for Russian natural gas, it is unconscionable that we are wasting these resources.<\/p>\n<p>Stronger methane waste rules applied nationwide can help. As EPA and BLM look to finalize new methane and waste standards in the coming months, they should build upon the strong foundation set by Colorado and New Mexico.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Methane leaks from oil and gas sites represents a problem on many fronts.
