Environmental Defense Fund's Energy Transition team. Working to bend the curve on global GHG emissions from fossil fuel production and use by 2030, cleanly + equitably.
EDF urges the PA Public Utility Commission to adopt a clear rule requiring data centers to pay the full utility costs they trigger – protecting ratepayers, improving transparency and ensuring growth doesn’t come at the public’s expense.

The Ottawa-Alberta MoU is a backslide on methane goals.

That delay adds 1.9M tonnes of methane, roughly half the annual pollution created by the cars on Canada’s roads.

Alberta is already behind on methane — and now it has permission to fall further behind➡️ buff.ly/qriG0i3

The oil and gas industry is the top industrial source of U.S. methane — wasting valuable natural gas.

Delaying action to #CutMethane "risks the health of millions of Americans...and undermines progress by industry leaders," said EDF's Rosalie Winn.
