UK Plans 75% GHG Emission Cuts by 2042

The Senate recently voted to overturn a Biden-era rule imposing fines on oil companies for methane emissions, with a vote of 52-47, aligning with Republican efforts to dismantle various climate regulations. This comes as the House also passed a resolution to eliminate the Environmental Protection Agency's methane rule, which was set to impose escalating fees starting in 2024. The methane rule, aimed at addressing a significant contributor to climate change, will still require additional legislation to fully repeal, as it is part of the Inflation Reduction Act. Meanwhile, Twelve, a California-based company, is innovating by creating products from CO₂ and water, aiming to significantly reduce emissions associated with fossil fuel production. Their sustainable aviation fuel, for example, claims to produce 90% fewer emissions than traditional jet fuel. This juxtaposition highlights the ongoing tension between regulatory approaches and innovative solutions in the fight against climate change.
