MethaneSAT Releases First Global Assessment of Oil and Gas Climate Pollution - Inside Climate News Nearly a year after the Environmental Defense Fund lost contact with an $88 million satellite, data from the spacecraft reveal higher-than-expected methane emissions from the oil and gas industry.

Are you surprised?? Emissions of methane, the leading driver of climate change after carbon dioxide, were 50% higher on average than official estimates, including the U.S. EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory. @momscleanairforce.org

We're drowning in plastic. But burning it, releasing toxics into our air, is NOT the solution.
We can each take small steps to reduce consumption, but it's up to our lawmakers to drive substantial progress!

Colorado moves to cut landfill pollution Colorado air regulators voted unanimously to adopt updated landfill standards to cut down on methane pollution coming from garbage dumps.

New rules in Colorado will curb harmful pollution from landfills, but there is more to be done. From making better personal choices when shopping to drone & satellite technology capable of more accurate measurements, there is more to come.

Colorado may ask big oil to leave millions of dollars in the ground | Colorado Newsline For the first time since Colorado began regulating drilling, state officials could force a firm to leave oil and gas in the ground.

Protecting public health & safety isn’t optional. Fracking can leave over half of the minerals in the ground, and Colorado law recognizes that not all minerals must be accessed when distance is needed to safeguard communities. Homeowners prioritize health!!

The Colorado legislative session is underway — a great time to brush up on how a bill becomes a law. Our state system is built for public participation, and constituent voices matter at every step.

EPA has a clearly defined mission: to protect human health and the environment. But under the leadership of Administrator Lee Zeldin the agency has betrayed its mission. It is failing the families it is supposed to protect, sacrificing health to the interests of polluters.

Extending the life of old coal plants means higher bills, dirtier air, and slower clean‑energy progress. Colorado shouldn’t have to bear those costs because the EPA chose to “disapprove” our regional haze plan. @momscleanairforce.org

Trump administration forces coal power plant in northwestern Colorado to continue operating Craig Unit 1 was scheduled to close Wednesday, but federal energy officials claim there is a power emergency

There is no "ENERGY EMERGENCY" yet the Trump administration has ordered that the coal-powered Craig Unit 1 must keep running.

AND this coal plant is NOT even OPERATIONAL right now, so Colorado RATE PAYERS will have to pay MILLIONS to fix it.

Colorado passes new methane-control rules for landfills. Some counties are worried about the cost. Colorado gave final approval to rules aimed at cutting the super greenhouse gas methane that leaks into the atmosphere from landfill rot.

1/ Colorado air quality regulators on Thurs passed new controls on methane from landfills, a top source of greenhouse gases, which include: Requiring methane gathering & control systems at more landfills; phasing out open flaring; additional monitoring; and biofilters

2/ This landfill methane rule improves protections at Colorado landfills by increasing monitoring for leaks, strengthening requirements for how methane gas is captured and destroyed, ensuring landfills are adequately covered so methane cannot escape, and phasing out open flares.
