.@cdpheapcd is set to release a draft of the first-of-its-kind GHG Intensity Verification Protocol by years end. @CleanAirMoms @MsLauriAnderson explains the critical importance of the protocol - including advanced air monitoring technology in @colo_politics

This week @EPA and @ENERGY announced a commitment to award $350 million of grant funding to 14 states to measure & reduce methane emissions, as part of the Methane Emissions Reduction Program (MERP) ⬇️ epa.gov/newsreleases/biden-h…
When oil and gas operators fail to meet their emissions goals, they HAVE to be held accountable. The GHG Intensity Verification Protocol is the only way how @GovofCO & @CDPHE. Read our blog to learn more on how we are engaging: defendourfuture.org/coalitio…

It’s all about the branding: The fossil fuel industry has spent years marketing 'natural gas' as a risk-free product — but in reality, methane is 80x more potent than CO2 as a greenhouse gas 🥵🌎 (with @emorwee + @ariellesamuel)

Right now, @POTUS and @EPA have the opportunity to make history with a strong rule to #CutMethane & other harmful pollutants from the oil + gas sector. Families around the country want swift action to protect our climate & public health. This #MethaneMonday take action via @CleanAirMoms: bit.ly/3PPNeEE

"As the new @IEA and the @CCACoalition report makes abundantly clear, we need urgent and robust action to achieve meaningful methane reductions that limit global warming," says Moms' National Field Manager @celerah. #CutMethane

¼ of climate change comes from methane emissions. Oil and gas operators need to use REAL data to PROVE that they are actually reducing emissions as they claim to be. #APCD’s methane protocol process needs to be crystal clear - transparency & accountability!

Methane pollution doesn't impact communities equally. Join @CleanAirMoms_CO organizer Shaina Oliver in urging @EPA to swiftly finalize their rule to #CutMethane & protect clean air for all: bit.ly/3LLnV48 #IndigenousPeoplesDay #MethaneMonday #JusticeInEveryBreath

1/ We can’t reduce #methane emissions if we don’t actually measure them. TAKE ACTION and tell @CDPHE #APCD to develop a strong Protocol for oil and gas operators to achieve the required emissions reductions by speaking at the 10/16 public comment session. #GHGs #COpols
Communities near operations experience negative health impacts that are only getting worse with time. We can’t wait for the industry to self-regulate methane. On 10.16, you can tell the #AQCD to take action NOW and on 10.10 you can attend our webinar to learn how!

Love to see increased US federal attention (and resources) applied to the methane problem. So many low-to-no-cost solutions exist it's bonkers. Hard to find a faster, higher impact warming-reducing set of climate actions than addressing methane leaks *now* xitter.cf/ValerieVolco/status/16…
It's methane day at the White House, which is tasking all federal agencies to focus on using technology to detect and stem methane leaks, a major greenhouse gas.

Methane pollution from the oil & gas industry is accelerating the climate crisis & harming our health—and it’s only getting worse. @EPA needs to finalize its rule to #CutMethane pollution before summer ends! If this summer showed us anything, it's that we need climate action now.
ALT Lois Bower Bjornson is the mother of 3 boys and one girl and lives in Scenery Hill, PA which is about 40 minutes south of Pittsburgh, PA. Lois owns 2 micro businesses one of which is her dance studio where she teaches young children the art of dance and self-confidence..Lois lives in the Marcellus shale field where unconventional natural gas development is rampant. Lois’s home is surrounded by 25 well pads, 2 compressor stations, 1 spill pad, multiple pipelines, a training facility, and her water quality has been impacted. What is a Mom to do? Lois has been fighting for her children’s protection from natural gas development for 4 years and has given testimony at EPA hearings twice, traveled to Washington DC to meet with elected officials and White House Staff, traveled to Harrisburg to meet with Governor Wolf’s staff, and attended many press conferences where she was a speaker.

Ridgway Mayor thanks @GovofCO and @cdpheapcd for “continuing to be a national leader” on climate with new rule to #cutmethane from the oil and gas industry. Read his LTE in @durangoherald here: tinyurl.com/39hxsv6t

Great news! Via the Air Quality Control Commission @CDPHE 's new rule, “Colorado will soon require oil & gas operators to get independent verification of their methane emissions data, becoming the latest state to set stricter standards" bit.ly/3QaH4PI
Defend Our Future Colorado retweeted
Colorado's Air Quality Control Commission @CDPHE enacted rules today requiring oil & gas companies verify harmful methane emissions with the state.

Today the Colorado Air Quality Control Commission voted unanimously in favor of the @cdpheapcd proposal, which creates a strong framework requiring the direct measurement of methane emissions and demonstrating with real-world data that emission reduction standards are being met.
Methane pollution affects us all; it contributes to climate change, health issues, environmental degradation, and poor air quality. Join us tomorrow for our grassroots webinar to learn more! mobilize.us/s/fXSUL0

The oil and gas industry cost the U.S. economy $77 billion in health costs in 2016. And that’s not including the $11.1 billion this industry imposed on the economy through #ClimateDamage.
