@COCorruptCntrl@HeidiHenkel@SenMikeFoote @ColoradoRising How can our health & safety be protected if there aren’t enough inspectors to respond to measurable complaints 24/7 within 1 hr? If inspector doesn’t see incident first-hand (photos and videos be damned) then it didn’t happen. No violation no enforcement no fine. Yes, time’s up.
"“We cannot solve this crisis without treating it like a crisis,” Leftwich added, offering his services to challenge the coercion that oil and gas companies are legally allowed to use under current state law." https://t.co/NfGx15jIjj
In case anyone missed it, citizens are done playing the oil and gas game of “oil and gas always wins”...Times up, #oilandgas@NRConcerned@SenMikeFoote @ColoradoRising #copolitics https://t.co/s24vYhVCnM
The produce we eat when it comes to market already has harmed farm workers. Zinke reversed Obama-era effort to ban it.
Mere expendables in the corporate quest for investor returns.
So what happened next. Read @JohnBranchNYT extraordinary and chilling account here of the CALIFORNIA farm workers sickened as a cloud of chlorpyrifos drifted into a field where they were working. READ AND SHARE please. DISMISSING SCIENCE is the headline. https://t.co/MSmyfww3fe
@6esm Good article Gerald. After several years of waffling, London is installing a .5 MW unit. The local grid can't take anymore according to them. I suggested one of my distillation units for biofuel for the remaining.
As I have been pointing out for some time, climate change isn't a cliff we go off at 1.5C or 2C. It's much more like a minefield we're stepping out on to:

Pause for a moment and listen to the real sound here of natural gas being burned into the frozen night air. So much drilling they ran out of pipeline. So they just burn it. And Trump admin eliminated rule limiting flaring
You also work in partnership with the oil/gas industry, invite billionaires to serve on your BOD, refuse to disavow #fracking, and are not on board with #OffFossilFuels#GreenNewDeal agenda, dooming all your other work. @EnvDefenseFund is its own special brand of climate denial.
Good news! Solar and wind energy are beating dirty fossil fuels and nuclear power in the marketplace. They are winning not just because they are clean and necessary to combat carbon pollution, but because they are less expensive across the board. https://t.co/MRK6CYtAri
Thanks to the moral pressure applied by all of YOU, @USRepKCastor won’t be taking fossil fuel money. We need to make sure all other Democrats do likewise — including money from fossil fuel execs and lobbyists. https://t.co/NQQHRCb1a8

Fracking exempt from OSHA oversight - and it shows!
NIOSH researchers reported finding benzene spikes above 200 ppm during sampling of flowback operations in Colorado and Wyoming.

Sobering stat. That is 577 square miles, or almost 4 times the size of Denver. Worth noting that some of those #oilandgas parcels were split estate lands that will impact landowners in #Wyoming & other Western states for decades to come. @Interior needs to get a #fairreturn
Bad news for the #climate. Bad news for the ocean. Bad news for communities. Bad news for democracy. Good news for lighting a fire inside average citizens who don't want to live in a devastated, toxic, petrochemical-dominated region. #NoPetroPA@BreatheProject@ssteingraber1
