Oil & gas pollution is everywhere but it's invisible like germs. I make it visible. It is causing the climate crisis. I show their dirty secrets and expose their fraud and lies. They sue me to shut me up but I win. 5th gen Texan, hate football.

One reason there is a climate crisis is because oil and gas pollution is invisible. If you could see it with your bare eyes, spewing out from everywhere, you would stop it.
At @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social we make the invisible visible.

“We have to stop burning things. We just don’t need to burn things for energy anymore.”
"I do feel like what we’re doing now, what Oilfield Witness is doing, is making a difference.” Still, for Wilson, the ultimate goal isn’t tighter methane rules—it’s an end to the age of combustion itself. “We have to stop burning things. We just don’t need to burn things for energy anymore.”
