@MethaneSAT took years to develop, millions to build and fly, and two weeks ago it went dark, permanently losing communication with controllers. So was it worth it? Emphatically, yes. 1/6 weforum.org/stories/2025/0…
Make no mistake: This action would put millions in harm’s way. In its most environmentally destructive action yet, the Trump Admin. is attempting to eliminate legal foundation underpinning vital protections for millions of people from severe threats of climate change, per NYT 1/3
Falling battery pack prices & intensifying competition are underpinning progress in electric car affordability In 2024, the average battery pack price dropped over 25% from the year before, driving down manufacturing costs & prices for consumers 👉 iea.li/4laYmsU
The proof is in the pudding, and in just 6 months, NYC congestion relief program has proven to be a success for residents, commuters, businesses, and the environment. A spot-on overview shows why it should stay, and how it could serve as a blueprint. bit.ly/46nJ1Re
Extremely troubling. This isn’t just another attempt to flout settled science and legal precedent. This reported plan would have far-reaching consequences for the health and safety of millions of Americans. nyti.ms/3TRfEiH
Strong methane rules will keep Europe competitive in a changing energy market. Our latest blog highlights why continued investor leadership is key to upholding the EU Methane Regulation and advancing global accountability. 🌍 business.edf.org/insights/inves…
To echo EDF’s Andrew Baxter, I'm deeply disappointed to see a return to the gas flaring levels of 2007. Reducing this “egregious waste of resources” is low-hanging fruit. We need stronger limits and protections on this pollution and waste.
🚨 NEW @WorldBank report finds that global flaring has reached its highest level since 2007. Reducing flaring is possible — and critical to reducing emissions, improving energy security, and limiting harm to human health. Via @NiranjanAjit @guardian: theguardian.com/environment/20…
The summer of 2025 is the season of flash flooding in the US, from New Mexico to Texas to NYC. (After yday, the DC metro could be added to this list, too.) (1/2)
Colorado has an important opportunity to set leading standards for landfill methane and air pollution — and it should seize it. There are commonsense, cost-effective approaches to cutting this harmful pollution and protecting communities. bit.ly/4nV7tj6
Outrageous. These actions would let some of the country’s worst industrial polluters evade compliance, giving them a free pass to put more cancer-causing and toxic substances into our air.
First it was 68 coal plants. Now POTUS wants to exempt more toxic polluters, from more coal plants to petrochemical facilities. This will result in more cancer-causing pollution. More communities at risk. EDF will vigorously oppose this damaging action. edf.org/media/presiden…
Extending California’s Cap-and-Trade program is a no-brainer. Through 2045 it's expected to generate 287k jobs, $55B in economic growth, and $232M in net savings for households, per study co-released by EDF + Greenline Insights. bit.ly/4nSWneo
Follow this Thread by @FredKrupp explaining why and how investing in #satellite technology has already given results. It remains fundamental to ensure timely action to reduce #methane emissions : for governments, companies,people. To enhance transparency and competitiveness

.@EnvDefenseFund President @FredKrupp reflects on MethaneSAT and why bold, independent climate action matters. In 1 year, we: • Detected methane at 2 ppb • Mapped oil & gas emissions • Traced them to the source The mission continues. Read more @wef: weforum.org/stories/2025/0…
