A two-year investigation by @EIAEnvironment and Earthworks into Ecopetrol, Colombia's state-owned oil company, uncovered evidence of what appears to be systematic and ongoing illegal activity greenlighted by the company's management.

Methane leaks are visible from space 🛰️, but oil and gas companies underreport them. Next month, New Mexico will vote on a program to catch major leaks by satellite and require companies to fix them.

This is #Data2Action. 🛰️ Satellites have spotted this facility near Laredo, Texas polluting 8 times since 2025. And our team verified the pollution on the ground on Mon, Nov 9th.

Low-producing oil and gas wells account for less than 10% of U.S. production but can be major methane polluters.
Proposed EPA rollbacks could worsen emissions from these wells, warns EDF's Rosalie Winn. More via @Bloomberg: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

In 2026, Earthworks and Diné CARE brought community members together for a toxic tour near Lybrook, New Mexico. Using OGI technology, participants could see emissions that are normally invisible.

It's time to #HoldPollutersAccountable!
Moms made headlines this morning in @time
The Trump administration says rolling back federal methane protections is doing Americans a favor. We know better.
In a new opinion piece, Moms Clean Air Force’s Celerah and Elizabeth point out how gutting oil and gas protections should be shocking, but it is what we’ve come to expect from an administration that continues to attack climate protections and our children’s health.
See why we’re concerned about recent repeals on climate pollution limits and how the move gives polluters a free pass to keep emitting harmful air pollution by reading their article in TIME. (Visit our stories for the link)

ALT First Democrat elected to Texas oil & gas regulator in 32 years
ALT The Texas Railroad Commission, which oversees the state’s oil and gas industry, will include a Democrat for the first time since 1994. Jon Rosenthal, state legislator and former oilfield engineer for 25 years, beat Bo French, a Fort Worth Republican, with 52.5% of the vote. Rosenthal had campaigned on a platform of affordable energy, creating a more responsive agency, and holding data centers accountable for their power and water use. French’s racist social media posts about students at a University of Texas football game earned condemnation from some in his own party and helped propel the race into the national spotlight.

People and our planet come before corporate profits.
Congress must hold the Trump administration accountable and reverse policies threatening clean air, clean water, and healthy communities.

Pennsylvania issued a permit allowing an oil and gas well to be classified as a “mineral brine” well, raising concerns about wastewater spreading on roads. 🛢️⚠️ @FracTracker @BetterPathPA

Thank you @PADEPSecretary and @PennsylvaniaDEP for meeting with advocates from around the state to talk about methane safeguards to protect PA’s frontline families from oil and gas pollution! @PennEnvironment @CleanAirCouncil @Earthworks
This summer, tribal leadership and organizing stopped mining exploration at sacred #PeSla. Earthworks joined the legal challenge to protect the site. Sacred lands shouldn’t have to be defended one mine at a time. 🏛️✊
