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.
Colorado is strengthening methane rules and considering new limits on toxic pollution. These actions can help protect communities, but more work is still needed. ⚠️🌎

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.
#NewMexico just made polluters pay for #CleanAir by increasing its polluter fee updates for the first time since 2009!
This #EnvironmentalJustice win was built by a coalition and alongside hundreds of everyday New Mexicans💪🏿💪🏾💪🏽💪🏼

April’s #PolluterOfTheMonth: Targa Resources, one of the largest gas companies in the US. With emissions exceedances & super-emitter plumes seen by satellite, Targa's track record raises questions. When methane pollution keeps surfacing, it’s time to take a closer look.

Methane pollution rules for oil and gas are still in place, even amid attacks on EPA authority. These protections remain critical for climate and public health. 📊🌱

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.
New Mexico has a rare opportunity to strengthen air protection.
March 23–25, in Santa Fe, state leaders will consider requiring oil and gas companies to pay the real cost of monitoring and enforcement.

Here we see a black plume of steady emissions from a flare at an Energy Transfer plant in Carlsbad, NM. It represents a continuous release of methane and other VOCs, all of which create harmful air pollution in the surrounding area.

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
Nearly a year after a well blowout upended the community of Galeton, CO, the state agency charged with regulating oil and gas is proposing a $1.53M penalty against Noble Energy, the Chevron subsidiary who owns the well.

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.

We're back with February's #PolluterOfTheMonth: Energy Transfer, which moves nearly a third of US gas & keeps getting caught venting methane along the way.

Join the #MakePollutersPay Week of Action and demand real accountability. Climate superfund laws can shift the cost off our communities, and onto the corporations that caused the crisis. 😤🌍

New FT reporting shows more than 80 significant methane-emission events across PA & WV — linked to major gas producers incl EQT, Expand Energy, & Berkshire Hathaway Energy.
The #BigGasPolluters analysis found repeated methane releases large enough to be a super-emitter: https://bit.ly/4abCbiY
The oil & gas industry and government MUST DO MORE to #cutmethane.
New tools, new data: same story. @gasleaksproject.bsky.social & Earthworks analyzed @carbonmapper.bsky.social satellites of 80+ major pollution events in WV & PA from 2024-25.
