“Methane emissions from oil and natural gas production have declined by 15% since 1990 without federal regulation, even as natural gas production has increased by 47%,” the letter said. But if you add in oil production, methane emissions are basically flat since 1990. Why did the industry letter include the word “oil” in the figure? We appreciate the fulsome apology from Lowenthal and the committee minority staff, and thus we will not award Pinocchios. But remember — only The Washington Post awards the Pinocchios.
