A measure to repeal a Biden-era methane emissions fee for oil and gas producers cleared its final congressional hurdle on Thursday, with the U.S. Senate voting to overturn one of the previous White House’s signature climate-related regulations. 
The Senate’s resolution was passed largely along party lines on Feb. 27, aside from one Republican not voting, after the House passed a similar measure on Wednesday. It now heads to President Donald Trump for his signature.
