Let's pretend. 🧵Let's pretend this is a surprise to anyone - @GovernorTomWolf, @PennsylvaniaDEP, @PADems, @PAGOP, @POTUS, @EPA, @USCongress, @FERC, @DRBC1961, @APIenergy gizmodo.com/fossil-fuel-in…
Let's pretend that the idea of capturing methane is a good one because it would actually help us stop the bleeding until we can transition off of #methanegas and not a terrible one because your cynical gov't would just say, "See? We fixed it! Full speed ahead!"
(See @GovernorTomWolf's statement when he announced PA's methane rule on new wells)
Let's pretend our regulators at @PennsylvaniaDEP and @EPA are competent to regulate an industry that has never settled for anything less than getting its way. Let's pretend our agencies aren't captured.
Let's pretend that the fact that we are now ~two decades into unconventional drilling and we still don't have #methanerules isn't an indication that we're never going to have them and that every org pushing for them hasn't wasted and isn't still wasting valuable time.
Nope, sorry. That just doesn't work. We can't pretend any longer. We need to #banfracking.
