Public record of Targa, our April #PolluterOfTheMonth shows:
-277 emissions exceedances in NM in early 2024.
-At least 16 methane super-emitter plumes in 2025.
-Nearly $5.5 million in penalties since 2020.

Methane accountability still has a long way to go.

Targa says it has methane reduction plans.

But its facilities have repeatedly made headlines for excess emissions, regulatory investigations, & pollution events caught from space. Methane accountability doesn’t stop at setting goals — swipe through to see why Targa is April's #PolluterOfTheMonth.

Chevron’s $1.5M fine for Weld County blowout will finance improvements to monitoring programs Some environmental groups say the penalty doesn’t reflect the damage Chevron caused in largest well blowout in a decade

14 families & an elementary school in the Galeton, CO had to be evacuated bc a Chevron well blewout in ’25.

It’s right that Chevron pays $1.5M in fines to clean up their mess, but no amount of $$ can undo the harm done to those kids and community.

Trump's mineral deals could lock in an extractive, anti-development model that undermines labor rights, environmental protections, and sovereignty across the planet, all in the interest of Big Tech billionaires and other corporate special interests.

Scientists agree that microplastics are everywhere. They're in our oceans, our food, and even in our bodies. 🌊🥗🧠

There’s no debating it. WE NEED LESS PLASTIC, MORE REAL SOLUTIONS NOW. ⚠️🚨

Millions in penalties. Massive methane waste. Repeated failures seen from on the ground AND from space. The numbers tell the story.

This is the cost of weak rules and unchecked pipeline pollution and why Energy Transfer is our this month's #PolluterOfTheMonth. https://bit.ly/4qdx6eP

Even when producers clean up operations, pipeline companies can undo that progress by venting and leaking gas downstream. Energy Transfer — one of the largest gas pipeline operators in the country — is a clear example and our #PolluterOfTheMonth.

Good news alert! Late last year, PA's Environmental Quality Board took an important step toward expanding the distance between new gas drilling sites & homes, schools, & hospitals. We need to demand the Department of Environmental Protection advance this NOW. Time, like peoples' health, is precious.
