Oil and gas companies are looking for a new way to fund LNG projects. Their new "innovation" is to sell stakes to private equity firms and pension managers. For more on the industry tying people's retirements to sketchy LNG investment check out Jack's new blog: oilfieldwitness.org/innovation-o...

Red meat production accounts for 30% of global food-related emissions but generates only 5% of dietary calories or 2% of the global protein supply. That's why Project Drawdown researcher @enviroem.bsky.social calls it the coal of the food system: https://bit.ly/4x2yGnz

This bubbling up of oilfield wastewater first happened in 2008 and 2009 where the fracking boom was born, in Wise County, Texas. Specifically it happened in Chico, Texas and coincides with a number of miscarriages and weird physical ailments. www.texassharon.com/2009/12/27/b...

The state is a major importer of fracking wastewater, which gets pumped underground but doesn’t always stay there. The city of Marietta is fighting back.

NEW: Big Oil and Gas created the myth that natural gas is "clean" — despite knowing the health and climate harms of methane decades earlier than previously reported. A major CCI investigation exposes how the gas industry deceived the public and policymakers into believing gas is a climate solution.

Yet another great example of renewables "not doing the basics of social licence" by *checks notes* Woodside putting a SLAPP suit on a protestor, knowing full well the lax laws in Australia. The Art Of Collaboration. 😂 fyi @txsharon.bsky.social #Woodside #AusPol #energysky

What *actually* works — right here, right now — to address climate change? Here you go. This is the result of thousands of hours of painstaking research and analysis from the Project Drawdown team.

Why is Europe trying to fool themselves into believing #LNG from the U.S. is clean? How bad do things have to get before people in power say enough?

Freeport #LNG Liquefaction and Pretreatment operations are the biggest polluters I have seen in 12 years of surveying oil and gas operations around the world. This facility pollutes at this level every day, all day and all night. Watch for movement. That's #methane gas filling the entire frame.

Last year @ssteingraber1.bsky.social joined us in the Texas Permian oil fields to talk to Mexican politicians about the known dangers of fracking. And then she went to Mexico with @txsharon.bsky.social to do the same. Yesterday, she was warning New Yorker's about the fracking risks....again.

New Yorker's rallied today to remind Lee Zeldin that New York banned fracking and that ban was permanent. Also opposing any new gas pipelines
