Alberta’s environment minister expressed little concern that European countries are taking steps toward tariffs on imported natural gas associated with high methane emissions as she promoted the province’s role as an energy ally in Washington.

Rebecca Schulz says there have only been a few conversations about the emerging exporting issue as she visited the United States capital this week.
