California Launches Satellite Initiative to Combat Methane Leaks Amid EPA Policy Changes
California has taken a significant step forward in environmental protection by launching a satellite project designed to detect and reduce methane leaks, a move prompted by recent rollbacks in federal environmental protections by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). This initiative, part of a broader effort to combat climate change, involves the deployment of advanced satellite technology to monitor methane emissions across the state.
The project, which has been awarded a $95 million subcontract, underscores California's commitment to environmental stewardship and its proactive approach to addressing climate challenges. The satellite system will help identify methane leaks from various sources, enabling quicker responses to reduce emissions of this potent greenhouse gas.
The decision to launch this project comes at a time when the EPA has been criticized for reducing environmental protections, leaving states like California to take independent action. The initiative not only aims to improve air quality but also positions California as a leader in using technology to fight climate change.
