MethaneHunter

I'd love to do that!

Thrilled that MethaneHunter aka TX Sharon is joining us in Santa Barbara for screenings of This Is Not a Drill! You gotta see the scary images she’s captured in the oil fields of Texas and around the world.

Guess where I am. Click the link to see where I'll be next. The list is growing all the time.

New Mexico snuck in a little bill called SB 136 on Friday. Known as the Unlawful Use Of Unmanned Aircraft bill. Humans can’t see methane, but we can see oil. The industry and the politicians they’ve bought don’t even want you to see that.

I don't even know who's playing in the Super Bowl. And I don't care.

Jeff Bezos just destroyed the climate reporting at one of the biggest papers in the country. Makes you think he doesn't really care about addressing climate change, right?

So what is he getting for his massive donations to many large climate related NGOs?

He knows. Do you?

Highlighting the speaker who stood in front of the Surprise mayor and told him to consider what the Mayor of Ohrdruf must’ve thought before he died by suicide: “He might have thought ‘how is this my fault I had no jurisdiction over this’ maybe he said ‘this site was not subject to local zoning.’”

When they tell you who they are, believe them.

The narration explains what's happening. I see flares like this all the time.

Amen!

The quote re “if you zero out methane leaks” is absurd as this is nowhere near where the industry is.

Also, using solely “leaks” implies accidental when (a) much is purposefully released and (b) much of the industry does little to address “leakage”.

YouTube video by Oilfield Witness Properly Combusting vs Poorly Combusting Flare

And yes, @txsharon.bsky.social has warned us about this for years.

Seems like a good video for his trial

Fuel mix on the ERCOT Grid right now is predominantly solar and wind.

Texans! Using lots of carbon free electricity right now on the grid will help renewables.

‘Piercing Cold’ Produces Power Outages Across Canada and U.S., Methane Leaks in Texas With much of North America shivering under Arctic temperatures, power utilities and the United States gas industry are buckling under the impact of the climate extremes they’ve played a central role i...

Before this recent storm @txsharon.bsky.social explained to everyone what would happen in the TX oil fields. This new article highlights how Sharon was right.

“Remember: Oil and gas infrastructure is fragile. Any weather event causes problems,” Sharon Wilson wrote on LinkedIn.

Oilfield Witness stands with Minnesota today in support of the general strike.

ICE might get hungry today if all the restaurants are closed.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

We can actually predict polar vortex events now by monitoring Ted Cruz flight patterns

Just Jane Fonda and me hanging out in the oilfield looking at #Methane

every single successful general strike in US history has had union backing through the local AFL-CIO

this is the first time it’s been called for since the 1940s

This dude is intense and correct

Every EU company/bank with US #LNG ties is fueling Trump's fascist domestic agenda & imperialistic aggressions abroad! Time to cut the fossil chains @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu @marossefcovic.bsky.social @wopkehoekstra.ec.europa.eu @eucopresident.consilium.europa.eu @president.europarl.europa.eu!

The radon is coming from LNG facilities?

‘Just an unbelievable amount of pollution’: how big a threat is AI to the climate? Defenders say AI can do good to fight the climate crisis. But spiralling energy and water costs leave experts worried

“It’s a horrible, horrible waste,” said @txsharon.bsky.social the director of campaign group Oilfield Witness, pointing to Grok-generated images of Nazi Mickey Mouse as an example of what fossil gas was being burned to produce. “What useful purpose does this serve?”

Kirsten just joined Bluesky. Follow her. She will make you smarter especially on the topics of climate change and oil and gas.

This will be lots of fun so if you care about climate change you should consider participating and/or subscribing.

When I wrote a book about oil train regulations I got to see how regulations were made.

So none of the info in this document about the EU methane regulations surprises me but if the oil and gas companies are in on closed door meetings with regulators, it's unlikely we get real regs.

EU Methane Regulations: Trace and Claim - Oilfield Witness The current negotiations around EU/US methane regulations are being sold to the public based on a major unproven assumption which is being repeated by many of the largest “green” NGOs in Europe and th...

The EU recently announced new details on their approach to figuring out how to import US LNG that complies with their regulatory limits for methane emissions. Our team spent the week putting together this overview. We have little confidence the proposed solutions will deliver the promised results.
