Yesterday, Donald Trump announced in Texas that he is eliminating common-sense limits on methane pollution from oil and gas wells. Our recent survey for @EnvDefenseFund shows that, in addition to being bad policy, Trump is wildly out of step with voters. Read more here: edf.org/Zu3b

The oil and gas industry has opportunities to reduce emissions while meeting Africa’s energy needs. At Africa Energy Week, EDF’s @MarkSBrownstein highlighted how CCUS and methane mitigation can help cut emissions, recover wasted energy and support long-term decarbonization. #AEW2026

It's official: EPA has proposed to roll back the 2024 Methane Rule. The administration claims it'll lower gas prices. It won't. These protections were never the cause. What it will do: more wasted gas, dirtier air, faster climate change. 📽️@jonwgoldstein

Since EPA stopped enforcing these protections in 2025, nearly $7B worth of American natural gas has been leaked, vented or flared. And because methane drives ~30% of warming, this rollback speeds up climate change. What methane waste is costing you: edf.org/national-methane-was…

This summer, Texas experienced another year of record-breaking temps coupled with soaring electricity demand. Yet for most Texans it was a non-event. Why? Because TX has quietly become the clean energy leader of the South. See how clean energy powered Texas this summer:

The image is an infographic from the Environmental Defense Fund highlighting clean energy usage by the Texas grid during the summer. It shows a 94% rate of the grid being powered by majority clean energy for at least one point each day. Three calendars for June, July, and August indicate days with over 50% and under 50% clean energy in blue and green. A graphic of Texas and wind turbines is at the bottom right.

Fossil fuels were 5% of new U.S. power capacity in 2024. They could be ~70% of new capacity in 2030. We'd pay with our bills and our health, even though new wind & solar often cost less than new gas. EDF's David Villagrana explains 🎥 via @UtilityDive: utilitydive.com/news/fossil-…

New report from @Earthworks found major methane leaks at New Mexico oil & gas facilities over a year– but very few of the leaks were reported to the state. It’s more evidence @NMEnvDep needs to finalize their strong proposal for monitoring super emitters: capitalandmain.com/satellite…

Environmental groups’ report found that few of the leaks, recorded in the Permian Basin over 16 months, had been reported to the state as required.
