When I wrote a book about oil train regulations I got to see how regulations were made.
So none of the info in this document about the EU methane regulations surprises me but if the oil and gas companies are in on closed door meetings with regulators, it's unlikely we get real regs.

The EU recently announced new details on their approach to figuring out how to import US LNG that complies with their regulatory limits for methane emissions. Our team spent the week putting together this overview. We have little confidence the proposed solutions will deliver the promised results.

“Climate action” is just another way to say “we want our beautiful complex planet to continue to be a good place to live, and to continue to be both beautiful and complex”. So much climate damage comes from assuming that Earth is simple, that it is easy to control and that it will bend to our will.
