Last year, PA's Environmental Quality Board took an important step in expanding the distance between new gas drilling sites & homes, schools, and hospitals. We need to demand the Department of Environmental Protection advance this NOW.

Time, like peoples' health, is precious.

A massive LNG export project proposed off the #TexasCoast could raise pollution, threaten local communities, and lock in decades more fossil fuel expansion. ⚠️🌊

New Mexico’s updated permit fees will help fund stronger oversight of oil and gas pollution across the state. Communities deserve enforcement that protects public health. 💰⚠️

[EDF Energy Transition @EDFEnergyEX]

Good news❗️Colorado's air pollution regulators will get the funding they need thanks to increased emissions and permitting fees, so the companies that create the pollution pay their fair share.

A $1.5 million fine means little when communities are left with pollution, displacement, and years of cleanup. Real accountability means preventing harm before it happens. ⚠️💰

New Mexico is increasing permit fees for the oil and gas industry to help fund stronger inspections and enforcement statewide. Cleaner air starts with giving agencies the resources to do their jobs. ⚖️💨

NEW: For the first time, a community harmed by a Japanese-funded LNG project has filed a series of coordinated complaints against the culpable parties in Japan:
💰 JBIC & NEXI;
💰 MUFG, Mizuho & SMBC
💰 JERA, Japan’s biggest power company

Methane rules remain in place, but ongoing efforts to weaken protections could delay progress and harm communities. Strong standards and continued advocacy are still essential. ✊💚

Continental Resources ranks among the top methane polluters in the US, & the data shows a pattern that can’t be ignored.

For Continental, the moves of the current administration are "paying off handsomely": https://t.co/bbvp7U3wG1

“If you make a mess, you clean it up.”

NM Attorney General Raúl Torrez is right: oil and gas corporations should be responsible for cleaning up the wells they drill – not leave the public holding the bill.

Nearly $5B in natural gas has been wasted since the Trump administration stopped enforcing methane rules last March.

That’s lost energy, higher costs and more pollution — while corporate polluters get a free pass.

Continental Resources isn't just a major methane polluter. The company & its founder are also central to the current administration’s energy policy, seeking to eliminate methane pollution rules that even much of the oil & gas industry supports.

A fracked well pad in Pennsylvania sits just 650 feet from homes. Now the operator wants permission to add even more polluting equipment to the site. ⚠️🏘️

Every new piece of equipment can worsen air quality & increase health risks.

Equinox Gold wants to expand the Castle Mountain gold mine in the Mojave Desert, risking groundwater, public lands, and native wildlife. Better options exist, and regulators should require them. 🏜️⚠️
