Agriculturalists have urged support for a bipartisan Clean Air Act that excludes livestock emissions. The Livestock Regulatory Protection Act doesn’t penalize livestock producers for naturally occurring emissions. In fact, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association says there’s a growing ability to mitigate the impact of these emissions through innovative practices.
Additionally, emissions like carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxide, water vapor and methane from livestock account for only a small portion of total U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works Committee will now need to vote on the bill before full senate consideration.
