Trump pushes for environmental rollbacks that may benefit oil and gas

The Trump administration is working to rollback dozens of environmental rules that could benefit the oil and gas industry, according to Oil City News.
The proposed changes would weaken protections for migratory birds, expand Arctic drilling and impact future regulation of public health threats, capping four years of unprecedented environmental deregulation by President Donald Trump.
Most of the rollbacks are expected to sail through the approval process.

Will I get free natural gas if I allow fracking on my property?
