The Environmental Protection Agency was petitioned this week by hundreds of environmental groups to end ethane and methane emissions responsible for smog. The groups also want an end to exemptions for the emissions.
A review of the hundreds of groups showed none apparently to be from Oklahoma. Some were from New Mexico.
