VICTORY: DEP removed a fake product type it had added to its oil & gas waste reporting system after we called them out for adding it. They removed it during a mediation we were in with them in Feb. Just found out via a new Right-to-Know. Our release - drive.google.com/file/d/1mTz…

Pennsylvania’s Democratic governor has sought to regulate natural gas development and embrace it at the same time, a sharp contrast to his approach to fracking as attorney general, @insideclimate reports.

Speaking of children, @GovernorShapiro, you've never made a public statement on the state-funded studies that found that children who live near fracking are at increased risk of lymphoma, asthma exacerbations, and low birth weight. #PABudget #FossilFreeBudget

Pennsylvania ignored hundreds of abandoned wells & authorized nearby waste injection well. "We hammered wooden plugs in and then filled the well with dirt.”@GovernorShapiro, docs.google.com/document/d/1…

Well plugs are temporary. This well was plugged in the 1950's. It's surrounded by others like this. Every well needs to be plugged and re-plugged for the life of the planet. RAISE BONDS so tax payers are not plugging and re-plugging wells as needed for the life of the planet.

The IIJA contracts don't include any identifying information on wells to be plugged. No API number, no well names, no location info. Pennsylvania needs to take reasonable steps to track the spending of the IIJA funding. drive.google.com/file/d/1F8M…

The Otto Twp contract for over 1.3 million dollars plugged 15 wells. None were leaking methane. 13 belong to Summit Oil and Gas. Here's production reports for some of the wells on that IIJA funded contract: drive.google.com/file/d/1RGy…

We need to do something about the super emitters first. 96% of the wells getting plugged with the first 25 million of IIJA funding have no environmental impacts associated with them. padep-1.maps.arcgis.com/apps…

More than 350,000 orphaned wells in our Commonwealth make up nearly 8% of Pennsylvania’s total methane emissions.
We have to do something about it.
Let’s plug the wells, improve our air quality, and make our communities safer.

DEP's randomly scored wells on their prioritized well list. Shouldn't PA use due diligence spending US taxpayers funds to plug wells with IIJA funds?

The Republican Party is up in arms about inflation.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve — which is in charge of fighting inflation — has 5 open seats.
Biden nominated 5 highly qualified candidates.
Republicans didn’t even show up to the hearing.
Is this some kind of sick joke?

After its hottest month on record, Alaska no longer has any ice within 150 miles of shore. "Alaska's waters are ice free."
