As Colorado’s ranchers struggle to get by, President Trump must not make matters worse by creating more uncertainty. Yet his incoherent trade policies continue to betray our ranchers, making it harder for them to recover from years of hardship.

Excellent analysis by Pembina: Delaying Alberta’s 75% methane target by 5 years would result in 1.9 Mt of additional methane in the atmosphere ... the same amount of emissions as is produced by 12 million gas cars over the course of a year. Or roughly half the cars in Canada.

Wise counsel from CEC's Rachel Doran: "Canada must work diligently to ensure it is not trading future climate promises that, as history suggests, could be reneged on in exchange for higher oil- and gas-related emissions today." cleanenergycanada.org/ottawa-alber...

Delaying the #cutmethane rule ignores the broad, bipartisan support behind these commonsense safeguards and dismisses the voices of local, Tribal and state elected officials working for clean air, a healthier climate, and strong economies.

In 10 years, BC’s gas production grew by more than 2/3, while methane emissions fell by more than 50%. It met its 2025 methane target 2 years early and is making good progress to 2030. We urgently need federal regulations ensuring the rest of Canada catches up. www.hilltimes.com/story/2025/1...

We’re glad to see #methane mentioned in the #federalbudget —but actions speak louder than words. Canada needs clear targets and timelines to drive these emissions down and give our kids a chance at a livable future. Cut it now - for our kids, our air, our future.

🛰️ New insights from @methanesat.bsky.social data show oil and gas methane intensity in New Mexico is less than half that of Texas in the Permian Basin — corresponding with strong state standards under @govmlg.bsky.social. 🔍 Check it out: www.edf.org/Z6rC

Here's a great story abt how New Mexico ranchers teamed up w/environmentalists, regulators and even oilfield contractors to attack the estimated $1.6B problem of unplugged oil & gas wells and storage facilities. It all starts w/requiring adequate plugging bonds. capitalandmain.com/new-mexicos-...

@climateinstitute.bsky.social is right: finalizing methane regulations for the oil and gas sector is one of the most effective ways to cut emissions quickly using existing, available, and effective technologies!

As Parliament resumes next week, the federal government must act urgently to address the ways climate change is threatening Canadians’ health, security, economic competitiveness, and ways of life. Read our full statement ⬇️ climateinstitute.ca/news/as-parl...

Methane pollution is fueling the climate crisis and harming communities. The Trump EPA's unlawful delay of commonsense protections means more wasted gas, polluted air and climate damage. @envdefensefund.bsky.social & allies are fighting back. www.edf.org/Z6r8

We don’t have time to waste in the fight against dangerous air pollution and climate change. That’s why we joined a dozen other groups to ask courts to overturn a Trump EPA Rule delaying protections against more industrial pollution, waste, and planet-warming gases: https://bit.ly/4oKt7H6

“Climate change is a threat multiplier. That’s not just my opinion — it’s the stated position of the Department of Defense, going back decades.” - MG (Ret.) Paul Eaton, Vet Voice Foundation Rolling back protections isn’t just anti-science. It’s anti-security. MORE: www.stripes.com/opinion/2025...

NEWS RELEASE: We just filed testimony in a rulemaking to modernize #OilAndGas bonding in #NMPol to address the problem of public funds being used to plug abandoned wells in the state. So far, abandoned wells have cost taxpayers $100M in NM alone.

Two weeks ago, we learned @methanesat.bsky.social went dark, but its transformative impact shines on. It showed what ambitious climate action can achieve—and why now is the time to take bold risks for even bolder solutions. More from EDF President Fred Krupp: www.weforum.org/stories/2025...

➡️ Canada PM @mark-carney.bsky.social has made it clear that Canada needs economic growth and emissions reductions. A new Op-Ed in the @edmontonjournal.com from a @uwaterloo.ca economist argues the methane mitigation industry is a great opportunity to do both: edmontonjournal.com/opinion/colu...

Thank you Senator Ben Ray Luján for your efforts to save the Methane Emissions Reduction Program and protect New Mexican from this toxic air pollution that costs our state tax dollars thru the methane polluter fee. #CutMethane www.congress.gov/amendment/11...

THANK YOU @lujan.senate.gov for your tireless efforts to protect NM from methane pollution and waste including filing an amendment that would have seen the groundbreaking Methane Emissions Reduction Program and its pollution fee implemented ASAP. www.congress.gov/amendment/11...

Japan’s government wants stronger emissions monitoring for the LNG they buy, and Canada’s government is supporting their efforts. Read more here about this moment for Canadian climate leadership, and why finalizing federal methane regs would help: www.edf.org/Z6Ks

New Mexico could face ballooning costs to address oil and gas wells abandoned by operators – sometimes called “orphan wells” — and the problem is poised to get bigger, according to a new report.

The Waste Emissions Charge – a commonsense fee to #cutmethane that would only affect the biggest polluters – is under threat in the proposed budget reconciliation bill. Delaying or obstructing implementation of vital climate protections like these defies public consensus and puts our future at risk.

Blue Land of Enchantment lures unhappy Texans www.npr.org/2025/05/20/n...

The Methane Emissions Reduction Program was put together with input from the oil & gas industry to help them take common sense measures to #CutMethane. Thank you Rep. @FrankPallone for the reminder that a repeal of MERP funding and fee postponement doesn’t make sense.

State level action on climate is possible in New Mexico-our children deserve nothing less! Read my op-ed www.santafenewmexican.com/opinion/my_v...

Great OpEd —> “Real energy leadership should consider national security and act on cutting wasteful and harmful methane emissions. We must remember Louisiana has built an energy legacy on strength and resilience, but we must also adapt to remain competitive.” MORE: www.nola.com/opinions/gue...

"Our citizens deserve to have clear air, clean land, clean water. Our citizens are rising up & saying you must do something about the climate impacts in New Mexico," Sen. Stewart said on NM In Focus about the Clear Horizons suite of bills. www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k02...

The Trump administration isn't just going after "regulations" or an "agency," they're going after your health, clean air, and water. The Environmental Protection Agency protects every American family. Dismantling it will be paid for in lives.

If successful, the suite of sweeping rollbacks announced today would constitute the greatest increase in pollution in the US in decades. www.edf.org/media/epa-ad...
