A Statement by the Rev. Mitch Hescox

President/CEO of the Evangelical Environmental Network (EEN)

Today the Bureau of Land Management proposed new standards for natural gas waste from flaring, venting, and leaks from production operations on public and Indian lands.  We applaud the BLM’s actions and are thankful this standard will help defend our children from the threats that fugitive methane releases have on our unborn and born children.
