The numbers tell the story — and it’s not the one our #PolluterOfTheMonth, TotalEnergies, wants you to hear.
From repeated methane emissions to pollution near homes and schools, the company’s claims for deploying real-time methane detection crumble under real data.

TotalEnergies loves to talk about its climate “leadership” — especially at global climate summits.
But while they promise progress on the world stage, communities in TX are still living with the same old leaks, venting, and toxic air.

Ending the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program gives polluters a free pass to stop collecting data on methane emissions. The comment period is ending, but EPA must listen to the public who deserve to know how these emissions affect our health. Let's #CutMethane & hold polluters accountable.

Our #PolluterOfTheMonth, by the numbers:
❌ 4+ methane super-emitter plumes since July
❌ Just 1 hour of combined emissions = a year of driving 180 cars
❌ $8.8 million in penalties since 2023
❌ Enough wasted gas to power 5,800 homes
Oxy keeps talking “net zero,” but the math doesn’t lie.

PR spin vs. reality.
Oxy claims to be “leading the way to clean energy.”
In reality? Methane pollution so big it’s visible from space, fines piling up, and gas wasted that could have powered thousands of homes.
This isn’t leadership. This is why Oxy is our October #PolluterOfTheMonth.
