Exploring, enjoying and protecting New Mexico and West Texas

Many thanks to Kevin Bean for this impassioned plea for NM to pass the Clear Horizons Act:

"In the struggle to maintain a livable planet, passage of the Clear Horizons Act would give us a fighting chance." #ClimateActionNow #NMleg

“The Trump administration is weaponizing the government shutdown to gut staffing, weaken environmental protections, and normalize their ultimate goal of privatizing public lands,” writes @JackieOstfeld in @TheHillOpinion.

"At this point, we know more than enough [about climate change] to justify unprecedented action, but as the data continues to improve, policies flowing from it have lagged far behind."

@EPWCmte is hosting experts on the threats to our communities’ health. We need Congress to listen to science + stand up for public health + hold big polluters accountable. Tell the Senate we need strong action to #CutMethane NOW! https://t.co/jpxVHEjD22

[Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter @RioGrandeSierra]

The Trump Admin is attacking one of our nation's most powerful climate & public land protection laws!

✊ Will u sign to protect the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) & demand a full Env review process that puts people, not polluters, first?

Thank you @SenatorLujan for your efforts to save the Methane Emissions Reduction Program and protect New Mexican from this toxic air pollution that costs our state tax dollars thru the methane polluter fee. #CutMethane

“It is pretty disheartening to see,” Antoinette Reyes told Source NM. “By blocking off that section, which is already steep and difficult terrain as is, it forces people to go into more dangerous portions of the border to cross.”

Time & time again, companies make empty promises to #CutMethane. Instead of holding them accountable to meet reasonable, industry-set targets, the Senate just gave them a get out of jail free card by delaying the methane polluter fee by 10 years.

One of many ways Trump's one big dangerous budget bill is bad: Families paying more at the pump for less fuel efficient vehicles because Republicans want to gut fuel economy standards.

The budget would end new, used, and commercial EV Tax Credits, reduce Charging Station Incentives for residential and public spaces, eliminates Manufacturing Credits and funds for Clean Trucks and Buses, and gets rid of fuel efficiency standards.

[Sierra Club @SierraClub]

Car dealers are speaking out, urging lawmakers in Washington D.C. to consider how the Senate’s proposed budget bill could hurt EV affordability and stall progress. https://t.co/3AnZjxILKc

[Martin Heinrich @SenatorHeinrich]

From the Sierra Club to Joe Rogan, everybody is pissed off about Republicans' public lands sell off.

This is the broadest coalition I've seen around public lands in my lifetime, so keep making sure your voices are heard because we're winning.

[Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter @RioGrandeSierra]

@SenatorHeinrich These are OUR lands. ALL of our lands. Don't sell our legacy!

[Sierra Club Rio Grande Chapter @RioGrandeSierra]

Thank you @SenatorHeinrich for standing up for clean air, for clean cars and trucks, and for the expert, technical rulemaking at the @EPA , that we used to have. Polluters are driving the car now.

Industry extracts publicly held resources off lands that belong to all of us for private profit. Companies emit waste alongside pollutants that harm our communities. Responsible extractors will never incur a fee.  We call on Congress to say no to the #CutMethane rollback.

[Moms Clean Air Force @CleanAirMoms]

One year ago today at @COP28_UAE, @EPAMichaelRegan announced a major milestone in the fight to #CutMethane pollution nationwide: the final @EPA rule to reduce methane waste from the oil and gas sector. As we celebrate this milestone, we look to states to implement strong plans.

[CarbonMapper @carbonmapper]

💥 Big news: Using Tanager-1 observations from @Planet, we detected a large methane plume in the Permian Basin ~7,000 kg/hr.

After we flagged the emissions, the operator mitigated them, & follow-up data confirmed the fix. Accessible data drive action! ⬇️ https://t.co/71Hx7DCL3p

[Earthworks @Earthworks]

🚨VERY IMPT STORY🚨: Oil & gas methane is NOT top of the agenda at #COP29. It should be. Action to #cutmethane is among the QUICKEST, CHEAPEST & IMPACTFUL ways to slow the #climatecrisis. Industry is both failing to do enough & lying to us outright.
