New @guardian + @Fieldnotes investigation: Oil Billionaire and Trump advisor Harold Hamm is behind a dark-money group that describes itself as an "alliance between the American oil and gas industry and the pro-Israel community.” The group spent years pushing to confront Iran.

"Companies want to be able to *say* that they're well regulated, they don't actually want to be well regulated."
@fieldnotes' Julia Kane explains why the oil & gas industry is pushing the Trump admin to hollow out methane regs, but not fully repeal them. bit.ly/4BkgR6x

In the Permian Basin of West Texas, methane gas billows from oil wells. It blasts out of pressure valves on pipelines, wafts from sprawling gas processing plants and rises up in plumes when companies air out systems during routine maintenance.

Reminder - the railroad commission regulates oil and gas. Don’t let them distract you from the real issues. Like this mystery sludge leaking into the Pecos River in Ward County.

New: The Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing a rule that’ll drastically weaken restrictions on “stripper wells,” which tend to be old, poorly maintained and prone to leaking methane, the highly potent greenhouse gas. propub.li/4AdslbE

Texas Railroad Commission eliminates public comment period from its public meetings, @insideclimate reports texastribune.org/2026/08/24/…
The network of dark-money political groups controlled by Leonard Leo and major polluters like Exxon and Koch, Inc have aligned to limit people's ability to sue corporations. While this has a lot to do with climate lawsuits, the stakes are much bigger.
The state legislation machine Leo built over that last few years is now poised to do what Exxon and Koch have only dreamed of - immunizing corps from public nuisance lawsuits. And it's not just climate. Pesticides, PFAS, social media would all get a pass grist.org/accountability/law…
Hamm's group spent years claiming war wouldn't raise gas prices, but It did. Americans have paid $67B+ extra. theguardian.com/us-news/2026…
