Oil & gas sites near 5.3M Texans’ homes leak benzene & formaldehyde. Both cause cancer.
A federal methane rule requires companies to find & fix those leaks. Now the EPA wants to roll it back.

The data center boom could increase greenhouse gases so much that it reverses years of reductions in US power emissions, a new analysis finds bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
See @SierraClub and @TexasSierraClub statement on proposed rollback of methane standards by @EPA sierraclub.org/press-release…
Wow wind produced more than a fifth of energy in Texas in 2025 reducing air pollution. Energy systems lab found that these resources were a significant reason for the reduction of ozone pollution sources
Low-producing fossil fuel wells have MASSIVE impacts. They release toxins into the air we breathe, the water we drink & the land we live on. So why is @EPA removing safeguards from this source of pollution? To cater to the wishes of oil & gas companies, that’s why. #CutMethane
Interesting conversations around data centers at #TexasEnergySummit @txenergysummit @EnvironmentTex @AquiferEdwards

TCEQ now says a zero-discharge limit for visible plastic pollution is “inconsistent” with state water quality standards—even though Formosa requested that restriction in its permit application.
BREAKING: EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin announced plans today to roll back federal methane protections — including safeguards that limit pollution from oil and gas sites and help detect major methane leaks.
For Texas, the stakes are enormous.

See our statement on proposed rollback of 2024 Methane Rule - we will fight this which will lead to MORE pollution and more WASTE of an important resource - gas/methane sierraclub.org/press-release…
Pleased to visit with @RolandForTexas office just a few days after the big victory on Big Bend wall construction injunction. Senator was part of the legal team that took on the administration to protest west Texas! @TexasSierraClub
Excited to be at the biannual Emery Efficiency Forum at @PUCTX improvement happening though much of legislated goal still being met with load management and not true energy efficiency @RafaelAnchia @DrSchwertner @KingForTexas @NathanForTexas
Wonderful evening honoring the rose three water pioneers at rainmakers event with @TexasWaterFND
A lot of upcoming events for Energy Awareness Month sierraclub.org/texas/blog/20…
