The media does a great job of telling us all that methane emissions are down in US oil and gas production and one of their big unsubstantiated claims is that oil and gas producers are actively working to address the issue. There is no evidence for that. Quite the opposite, actually.

Tariffs on their own do not create more American jobs or lead to more US production. In fact, Trump's last trade war cost roughly 300,000 jobs. All these tariffs will do is give corporations cover to jack up prices and pad their profits at our expense.
