Now that Sec. Wright has been confirmed, I hope he takes the issues raised here to heart. There’s much that can be accomplished during his tenure that would be good for the U.S., but it requires attention to the realities of O&G production, and actions to address them.

6M lives lost annually to air pollution. Millions of tons of methane wasted. Hundreds of thousands of orphaned oil wells polluting our air & water. As Energy Secretary, Chris Wright can help safeguard our climate future. Mark Brownstein / The Denver Post: edf.org/brownstein-den…

Of course, what’s missing from this is any mention of climate change and the cost it’s imposing on the people of Massachusetts (property insurance in Barnstable County anyone?). So, yes coat. But also benefits - to both current and future generations (your kids?)

Useful thread, particularly in the context of response to the AI demand ‘emergency.’ Those that stand to profit from creating and offering AI products and services should pay for the infrastructure these products and services require. Anything else is a subsidy at our expense.

You know how topsy turvy the world has become when Amin Nasser, CEO of Saudi Aramco, makes more sense on the issue of climate change than the U.S. Secretary of Energy. CERAWeek

For anyone at ⁦CERAWeek⁩, come join us and learn more about how to measure, report methane emissions. You can’t manage what you don’t measure!

Terrible tragedy. As were the wildfires in California earlier this year. Of note that events like this are becoming more pronounced. nytimes.com/2025/03/14/us/… via @NYTimes

Terrible, but wholly unsurprising. Nature-based fuels have similar lifecycle and verification challenges of nature-based credits. Both can play a constructive role in a balanced decarbonization strategy, but a more limited role than some would like. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Even if you supported the project, don’t now pretend the protestors didn’t have had valid cause for concern. cbsnews.com/news/keystone-…

At the end the day, investors value Oil Majors for their cash, not their investments in the energy future. As a consequence, all signs point to an industry in structural decline. Can consolidation and asset divestment to bottom-feeders be far behind? bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

We're bringing data on #methane pollution right to the heart of the oil and gas industry. 📊 MethaneSAT helps reveal the full picture of emissions, lending both transparency and insight into industry operations. 🛰️ Mark Brownstein gave us a look from #WorldGasConference ⬇️

Whether one is looking to improve company operating practices or gas purchasing preferences, implement government regulation, or compile a national emissions inventory, or there is no substitute for measured data. phys.org/news/2025-06-m…
