Methane pollution is fueling the climate crisis and harming communities.
The Trump @EPA's unlawful delay of commonsense protections means more wasted gas, polluted air and climate damage. @EnvDefenseFund & allies are fighting back. https://t.co/sr8ZBt7RUF
MethaneSAT has successfully separated from the @SpaceX#Falcon9! We're in orbit 🌌
The spacecraft will now boot up its computer and 'detumble', using its actuators to slow down the spinning caused by the deployment.
Everything is bigger in Texas...including oil & gas #methane pollution.
Analysis reveals the sheer amount of gas wasted by Texas operators in 2019 — $1.7 billion — enough to meet the state's entire residential demand 2X over. Texans urgently need @EPA to step in + #CutMethane🧵
How far will EDF go to protect the climate? All the way to space.🛰️
Fantastic @NewYorker feature tells the story behind @MethaneSAT, the most advanced methane satellite ever built. Check it out! ⬇️
The world has a big problem. And we can’t even see it. But if we can stop it, we can cut warming by a whopping 25%! That’s why EDF asked everyone’s favorite science guy @billnye to help us spread the word about the dangers of #methane emissions.
Dr Sultan calls on oil and gas industry “to up its game, go faster and get behind net zero” at #CERAWeek. I agree. Every decision from here should be focused on rapidly reducing emissions and accelerating the transition. There’s a lot of work to do and no time to waste
Looking forward to another #CERAWeek@CERAWeek. The past year has made clearer than ever a need to accelerate the energy transition, and we'll hear much this week about new technologies and business models to do just that.
We can't afford bad bets; we need to get it right.🧵⬇️
Biden just announced new U.S. initiatives at #COP27 to fight climate change—one of which is a joint declaration among several key countries to #CutMethane emissions across oil and gas supply chains. This is huge for climate + energy security going forward: https://t.co/xp1Vq3oTuy
BREAKING: First-of-its-Kind Digital Resource Simplifies the Fleet Electrification Journey
A new free interactive guide from @EnvDefenseFund provides owners and operators the much-needed tools to make the switch to electric trucks. 🧵 https://t.co/u5BqoNBabn
Over 80% of oil and gas wells scattered across the U.S. are small and low-producing, but create harmful pollution that is often overlooked.
We need @EPA rules that #CutMethane and address these low-producing, high polluting wells.

The U.S. Supreme Court has restricted options for curbing power plant climate pollution.
But let's get this straight: it in no way impacts @EPA authority + obligation to address climate pollution across industries, including to #CutMethane from oil & gas⬇️https://t.co/nsnsVVM4Uo
Our experiment in democracy is at a critical juncture, brought by a demographic shift unprecedented in our history: from white majority, to white plurality without majority.
The next three years will determine the character of the United States for decades to come.

New @CNBC doc examines the role of the world's biggest oil company in the climate crisis.
Some see greenwashing; others see hard look at complex problems. Either way, it's a rare view inside the #EnergyTransition – both the promise and current reality.🧵 https://t.co/VxNpr0Ls4M
Under Abbott, Texas has experienced 4 of the 30 deadliest mass shootings in American history.
How did he respond? By making it easier for another one to happen.
How do we respond? By voting him out and preventing the next one.
