MSC Applauds Trump Administration for Overturning Deeply Flawed Regulatory Overreach

PITTSBURGH, PA - July 29, 2025 - Marcellus Shale Coalition president Jim Welty issued the following statement in response to the U.S. EPA's proposal to rescind the Endangerment Finding:

"Thanks to clean and abundant American natural gas, our nation's air quality and environment continues to dramatically improve, creating important health benefits and economic growth. Our industry's relentless focus on innovation, emissions reduction, and regulatory compliance continues to drive positive environmental and public health improvements, particularly in Pennsylvania, where greenhouse gas emissions in the power sector have dropped 46% in the last two decades.

"The original federal endangerment finding was deeply flawed and based on overreaching political agendas. As a result of that action taken more than a decade and a half ago, legal red tape placed on American consumers and workers, especially in the energy sector, created unnecessary disadvantages in the global economy.

"We appreciate the Trump Administration's bold action to repeal burdensome regulations that harm hardworking American families and job creators while also prioritizing commonsense policies that benefit the nation's environment and our economy."
