Living with Oil+Gas

Ever wonder what it's like to be neighbors with oil and gas?

One of the most striking satellite images of California & the West I've ever seen. #HurricaneKay is approaching from southeast while numerous large wildfires burn to north, and an enormous pyrocumulonimbus cloud associated with explosive #MosquitoFire is prominent. #CAwx #CAfire

An oil well fire lit the sky and surrounding hillsides in Allegany early Tuesday and resulted in an oil spill of 150 gallons, reported fire department officials from the Cattaraugus County Office of Emergency Services.

What's the problem with a house blowing up here or there? https://t.co/sY826Oem0p

Who'd like some radioactive waste water from fracking dumped on their driveway as deicer? Ohioans got at least 621,000 gallons sprayed on their roads this winter. https://t.co/YthupXSpZ9

Much like giving mortgages to people without jobs wasn’t a sustainable business model, loaning money to shale companies that spend it all without making a profit is not sustainable. https://t.co/zOPEzf5R7d

Watch live as the Subcommittee on Energy and Mineral Resources is holding a hearing on ensuring a strong, fair economic transition during the move away from coal #ActOnClimate. https://t.co/a0silP26as

Ever wanted to swim in a fracking wastewater injection well? If you own a pool, you may already be living the dream! https://t.co/vz5mQME1QT

Those living in the "blast zone" of Oil by Rail routes deserve the peace of mind of properly prepared emergency services and common sense safety features. https://t.co/1Ny3Q4nvpX

Here’s to saying what you do and not doing what you say! @Chevron, @bp & @Shell just made ANOTHER promise to #cutmethane. Yet all three refused to oppose efforts to rollback @EPA #methane rules. https://t.co/okNlFFXWUa

It can be good for your wallet, but it turns out it's not great for your heart: oil and gas development. https://t.co/HyFrI5gded

Folks in Washington are proposing to cut requirements for public input and environmental review of Oil and Gas projects. Think they asked Westerners what they thought about that?

“Until this case, the State was forcing landowners to give up their mineral rights against their will for a pittance and with no consideration for the profound risks their families and property would be exposed to."

A poll released this week shows what Westerners think the Interior Secretary should be prioritizing. Which one do you think Secretary Bernhardt should focus on?

This year's version of the "crimes against critical infrastructure" bill has died in the Wyoming legislature. Read the story: https://t.co/ho0DBKfcRL

Satellite data shows that twice as much gas is being flared than companies are reporting. Deception (is "fraud" too strong a word?) of this magnitude spells disaster for communities near oilfields.

Last month @Interior quietly rolled out revisions to the Freedom of Information Act that drastically weaken transparency and access to public records. Please take action to defend this law so critical to our democracy! https://t.co/FW2cvPpz2u #FOIA

ACT NOW: @Interior is trying to weaken the Freedom of Information Act, one of the most important laws for ensuring transparency and public access to information! Click here to add your comment opposing the #FOIA rollback. https://t.co/FW2cvPpz2u

#NEPA ensures that projects are built to last with the health, safety, and benefit of local communities as the primary goal. Now, the Trump Administration is trying to roll back the law, making possible to rubber-stamp dangerous projects. #ProtectYourVoice

[WORC @worcaction]

Due to the constraints of the #TrumpShutdown, @Interior has offered the public ONE extra day to comment on its rollback of #FOIA rules. That's a generous 41 minutes extra for each day of the shutdown. #democracy https://t.co/unI9MMkcwi

[Living with Oil+Gas @LivingWithOandG]

Powerful interests are trying to roll back the National Environmental Policy Act. The Trump admin may soon be able to rubber stamp permits to build oil pipelines and toxic waste dumps (etc, etc) without a single environmental review. #ProtectYourVoice
