Under Scott Pruitt, Trump's EPA Moves To Rip Up Obama-Era Environmental Rules

Last week a federal appeals court blocked the Environmental Protection Agency from suspending an Obama-era limit on methane emissions from new oil and gas wells. The ruling was a blow to EPA Administrator, Scott Pruitt, who has made it his mission to undo much of his predecessor's work combating climate change.
