The oil & gas industry and government MUST DO MORE to #cutmethane.

New tools, new data: same story. @gasleaksproject.bsky.social & Earthworks analyzed @carbonmapper.bsky.social satellites of 80+ major pollution events in WV & PA from 2024-25.

Texas left in the dust as New Mexico slashes methane intensity on its side of the Permian - Energy Exchange By Elizabeth Lieberknecht and Benek Robertson  New data and analysis show that while production increased in both states, lower loss rates in New Mexico reflect that progress is possible with strong m...

📈 New MethaneSAT data showing Texas' high methane intensity in the Midland Sub-Basin reaffirms what we know: Texas’ efforts to #CutMethane are lagging.

NM's strong rules correspond with real progress. TX has the tools — now it needs to act. blogs.edf.org/energyexchan...

New Poll Shows Vast Majority of Americans Support “Methane Fee” - Global Methane Hub More than seven in 10 Americans support a fee on oil and gas conglomerates for methane pollution

The megabill that undermines Medicaid also undermines a program that would make polluters pay for the methane they waste–something 70% of Americans support. These Big Oil handouts have to stop. We need to #CutMethane and put people over polluters: bit.ly/44GESa5

With Trump threatening to reverse the Endangerment Finding, thank you @usclimate.bsky.social for standing up to protect American's health and welfare while addressing the climate crisis with the seriousness it deserves.

The demand for technologies and services to #cutmethane – a powerful climate pollutant – has never been higher, and commonsense regulations have helped make the industry’s growth possible, Albany County Commissioner Pete Gosar writes in @wyofile.com: tinyurl.com/53cuakmd

New CBO estimate: After a late night vote to cut Medicare benefits for working families, Congressional leaders will today vote on a resolution that could cost taxpayers $7.5 billion and create a windfall for the oil and gas industry by rolling back methane polluter fees. www.cbo.gov/publication/...

DOGE released data about federal contract savings. It doesn't add up A new government tracker claims DOGE has saved billions from ending federal contracts. But an NPR analysis of the data finds the claimed savings don't add up.

Doesn't add up and curiously is missing the Department of Defense which failed its 7th audit. 7th audit! Sounds like an area with rampant waste, fraud and abuse - and a DOGE target that will save American tax dollars. #AuditDOD

Remember the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions? Well, we finally know how much methane was released and it’s A LOT...enough to have the same near-term climate impact as driving 8+ million cars for a year. 😱 Read the International Methane Emissions Observatory study: www.unep.org/news-and-sto...

Proposed PHMSA standards would require more frequent leak surveys on gas pipelines and "have general support from industry." These standards are crucial to protect the health & safety of nearby communities while helping to #CutMethane leaks. Via NPR: www.npr.org/2024/12/13/n...

U.S. LNG Cos Must Comply With International Methane Rules To Compete It’s up to the natural gas industry to reduce methane emissions, not the Trump Administration. They must compete internationally.

Reducing methane isn’t just about climate impact — it’s about market competitiveness. U.S. LNG producers are cutting emissions to meet global standards, compete in international markets, and reach climate goals.

Now more than ever: The business case for strong methane regulations - EDF+Business Companies and their investors should use every tool – especially their political influence – to defend America’s thoughtful, strategic methane rules.

As a new Congress and administration take office soon, key methane regulations face uncertainty. The stakes for these regulations are high with looming political developments, and companies must act to defend them. The encouraging news is that climate action is good for business. www.edf.org/Z6RM

Climate-warming gas leaks must be fixed by utilities in a new proposed rule Natural gas utilities likely will face stricter federal regulations for their climate-warming methane emissions. Among the biggest sources of leaks is the meter outside a gas customer's home.

With days counting down to the end of the Biden administration, POTUS must finalize the PHMSA
rule as soon as possible to advance pipeline safety for communities across the US.

Why? The answer is frighteningly closer than you think.
