Oil and gas operations release over 570 billion cubic feet of methane annually through leaks and venting—enough to power millions of homes. This potent greenhouse gas accelerates Climate change while contaminating air near facilities, disproportionately affecting low-income communities and communities of color. Current regulations remain inadequate, allowing companies to continue polluting without accountability.

Methane traps 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide over 20 years, making these emissions catastrophic for our planet. We need stronger EPA standards requiring regular inspections, mandatory leak repairs, and real penalties for violations. Communities living near these facilities deserve clean air and Environmental justice.

The technology to detect and fix methane leaks exists—companies simply lack incentive to use it. Stricter enforcement would protect public health, slow Climate change, and transition us toward cleaner energy. Sign the petition now demanding comprehensive methane regulations.
