Chief executives of some of the largest U.S. oil companies promised to collaborate with the Biden administration in its campaign against climate change during a meeting Monday with White House National Climate Adviser Gina McCarthy.
The oil industry leaders pledged support for federal regulations explicitly limiting emissions of methane from wells and other oilfield equipment -- a declaration that dovetails with President Joe Biden’s vow to clamp down on leaks of the potent greenhouse gas.
