CA Director at Sunstone Strategies. Real food advocate working to end oil & gas, stop water💧privatization & shut down #AlisoCanyon in CA. Opinions are my own.
Background on Aliso Canyon (thread): #AlisoCanyon is the 4th largest gas storage facility in the US. It's owned and operated by SoCalGas, the largest gas utility in the US. On Oct. 23, 2015, well SS-25 blew out lasting 111 days.

The hot, dry conditions that fueled the devastating LA fires were made 35% more likely by fossil-fueled climate change.
Big Oil knew. They lied. Now, our communities are paying the price.
It’s time to make polluters pay. https://t.co/jSMv7mMNGL
Not a movie. The world you live in.
Whether you realize it or not: Your reality, home, safety, and expectations for the future are all — today — overwhelmingly shaped by the lies and pollution of about 100 fossil fuel companies and their executives. #makepolluterspay
Big Oil raked in record-breaking profits. The companies that caused the climate crisis are getting rich as they fuel the fire.
@ExxonMobil: $55.7 billion
@Shell: $39.87 billion
@Chevron: $35.5 billion
@BP_plc: $27.7 billion
Time to make the pay for the damage they've caused.
“California can meet its grid needs without gas… Aliso Canyon can close by 2027… But we need to seize the moment.”
@GavinNewsom promised action, but now he’s trying to ignore us. Our communities deserve better. #ShutAlisoDown

Newsom loves his EV headlines. But @Sammy_Roth is right: where’s that same fight to stop methane leaks, gas stoves, and fossil fuel disasters like Aliso Canyon?
This Thurs, the CPUC may keep Aliso open indefinitely. Newsom needs to step up.

In today’s @latimes: My column on Gavin Newsom’s continued failure to close the Aliso Canyon gas storage field, 9 years after a record-breaking methane leak — or even acknowledge his long-ago promise to try to shut it down before 2027: https://t.co/Ssh4U1e4PL
9 years after the Aliso Canyon disaster, @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom’s leadership is MIA. Instead of keeping his promise to close it by 2027, he’s letting the CPUC keep it open. Californians deserve better. Newsom’s failure hurts us all. #ShutAlisoDown

SoCalGas pays out $71 million settlement for California Aliso Canyon Fossil Gas Blowout

Here's the impact of the blowout
https://t.co/jAW5uRasPl
Newsom promised he would shut down Aliso Canyon, site of a major gas blowout. “Instead, Newsom sat on his hands.”
Now his CPUC will vote to keep it open, closing an 8 year proceeding. @GavinNewsom just gave up. His failure hurts us all. #ShutAlisoDown

Communities near Aliso Canyon still report headaches, nausea and nosebleeds years later. UCLA experts warn of cancer-causing chemicals like benzene. Why is @CAgovernor@GavinNewsom allowing this to continue? #ShutAlisoDown

Gavin Newsom used to talk a big game about shutting down the Aliso Canyon gas field by 2027.
Now his appointees plan to keep it open into the 2030s — with no closure timeline. Newsom’s office blames Angelenos for using too much gas.
