The EPA has issued a final rule to delay limits on dangerous methane pollution from the oil & gas industry. This gives oil & gas a pass on air pollution safeguards that would have cut a 58 million tons of methane through 2038. Cutting methane is a call for morality.

Yesterday, our Board Chair, Ruth Striegel, provided public comment to the EPA:

“The cost of delaying methane rules is too great—economically & morally.”

🌍 Communities can’t afford 3.8M more tons of methane in our skies.

New Mexico’s oil & gas bonding rules are broken.
Abandoned wells = taxpayers on the hook for cleanup.
We need:
✅ Corporations to pay 100% of cleanup costs
✅ Local cleanup jobs
✅ Protection for water, land & health

Fair rule: If you drill it, you clean it.

🚨 What’s an abandoned well?
It’s an oil or gas well that’s been abandoned by the company that drilled it — and now leaks methane, threatens our water, and puts the public at risk.
