Oil & gas pollution is everywhere but it's invisible like germs. I make it visible. It is causing the climate crisis. I show their dirty secrets and expose their fraud and lies. They sue me to shut me up but I win. 5th gen Texan, hate football.

Coming soon: Terminal Failure: Freeport LNG's chronic problems, pollution and safety violations. Regular failures, rarely a fine, risking thousands of people and the planet. The largest data from an LNG terminal to date including an entire month of OGI footage.

This is Exxon's XTO. I have visited this site seven times since December 2022. Every time there are a huge emissions. Five times the vapor recovery system was failing.

Our report, "Terminal Failure" is the culmination of extensive investigative research. Written by Jack McDonald after analyzing thousands of government documents alongside a month of optical gas imaging data captured by me. Soon...

And this is the pretreatment part of Freeport LNG. Here they are removing the impurities from the #methsne gas--impurities like benzene.

Tilley and I moved to a house on sticks in Freeport for the month of March. I have a daily record of intense pollution from Freeport LNG. In addition, Jack McDonald combed through and analyzed thousands of government records.

The only reason #LNG is called "clean energy" is because it is invisible to the human eye. Another small portion of Freeport LNG blasts #methane and #VOCs into the air 24/7. Methane ends up in our troposphere warming our planet for a decade. Stopping that methane is the climate emergency brake.

Freeport #LNG Liquefaction and Pretreatment operations are the biggest polluters I have seen in 12 years of surveying oil and gas operations around the world. This facility pollutes at this level every day, all day and all night. Watch for movement. That's #methane gas filling the entire frame.

When I called the O&G industry a mafia, Range Resources threatened me with defamation in a deposition. 🤷‍♀️ It's okay when they call themselves a mafia. That's just telling the truth.

Midstream sites are often overlooked and they are some of the biggest emitters I see. It doesn't matter if operators like Exxon's XTO tries to stop #methane escaping at the wellhead when the gas goes from there to a midstream site like this one. #oilfield

Texans! Using lots of carbon free electricity right now on the grid will help renewables. Wash clothes and dishes, charge you EV.
Fuel mix on the ERCOT Grid right now is predominantly solar and wind.

I'm breaking up with @nytimes.com. The @mattyglesias.bsky.social op-ed is gaslighting and junk. Show me that you know nothing about oil and gas by linking to the purveyors of junk science who recruit people from Big Tobacco. Clean "natural gas" is the biggest scam in history.

Mark Ruffelo should have stayed in touch with me like he promised after NY banned fracking. Then he would know better than to fall for the "cheap easy fix for methane, It's PHYSICS! They must release methane gas due to pressure. Only 6% of the methane comes from leaks This is bullshit!

The only reason they can say #LNG is clean, is because the pollution is invisible. They will say anything hoping we will believe it. But seeing is believing. Cheniere Sabine Pass

Watch this video to see "clean neutral gas" vs wind. There is no excuse for the destruction in the video you posted. But wind can't even come close to the destruction caused by oil and gas,

Texas Railroad Commissioner Christy Craddick flagged by Houston Chronicle for her corruption, recently bragged on LinkedIn about issuing 666 original drilling permits in January alone. The number is ironic and demonic. The science denial is purely due to the amount of money from oil and gas.

GOI Thermal Power Station in Japan operated by JERA running on dirty methane gas imported from the USA. A graph on the right side of the OGI screen shows the approx. temperature of the plume. The industry claims this GHG pollution is just heat. OGI proves it's uncombusted methane + particulate

It's hard or people to process that the oil and gas industry is permitted to release the pollution that brings fires like the ones happening in California. This site is permitted to release methane "Every day of the month" forever. I wrote about it on LinkedIn www.linkedin.com/posts/sharon...

Carbon Mapper's satellite picked up this methane plume at the Pecos Bend Gas Plant in Reeves County on Nov 9. The operator, Kinetik, did not report the event to the state database. www2.tceq.texas.gov/oce/eer/ I've made many complaints with video evidence on this site and nothing ever changes.

I haven't been active here but aim to change that. The only reason there was a fracking boom leading to a climate crisis is because oil and gas pollution is invisible. I make the invisible visible. Every oil and gas site spews out invisible pollution.

This is a better way to handle a blowdown. The gas is routed to a flare for combustion which still pollutes but it's better than releasing uncombusted #methane. Flares look terrifying but the invisible hydrocarbon gases can be lethal. I choose neither way. Leave it in the ground!

We wanted to show you a tiny snippet from the optical gas imaging we did recently at an LNG terminal in Louisiana. Seems like they are setting methane gas free hoping it will find its way around the globe, a savings on liquidation costs. @oilfieldwitness.bsky.social
