Special treatment for Alberta would cost Canada more than $1 billion in methane waste and severely undermine its methane regulations - Energy Exchange The Canadian federal government has an important decision to make that will determine if it will follow through on the promise of the December 2025 methane regulations. Millions of metric tons of meth...

The Canadian federal government will soon finalize an agreement with Alberta to determine how the province will implement methane regulations. Alberta is asking for a five-year delay, and asking to use its own data to set the reduction targets.

HUGE WIN for cleaner air, less traffic, and faster commutes in New York City!

A federal judge ruled that the Trump Administration does not have authority to end New York’s congestion pricing program, reinforcing what New Yorkers already know: congestion pricing is law and it's working.
