The oil and gas industry has used deceptive tactics to exert outsized political control in Colorado. This strategy threatens our health and safety. The Union of Concerned Scientists documented four basic disinformation “plays” in the state. Colorado legislators and regulators have not done enough to hold the oil and gas industry accountable for its deception and political interference. We must continue pushing for Fossil fuel companies active in Colorado and their trade groups to stop spreading climate disinformation and pay their fair share of the climate, environmental, and public health costs of fossil fuel production and combustion.

Help us educate Coloradans by sharing this post!

Today, dozens of people, including Marsha G, have public comments in opposition of the Sunlight-Long Fracking Pad at the Arapaho Board of County Commissioners meeting. They also present the commission a petition signed by over 3,000 concerned residents asking them to reconsider their decision or approve the oil and gas development plan. Coloradans continue to speak up against the expansion of fracking across our state. You can help by signing the Open Letter of Support to Stop the Expansion of Fracking (Link in Bio).

Attention Coloradans!

On June 23rd, the Town Council of the Town of Erie sold the Town's mineral rights to SM Energy (formerly Civitas), the owner of the Draco Pad Project, a large-scale oil and gas fracking operation that plans to drill 26 horizontal wells under Erie residents. This sale was done without a public vote and the Town Council hired the founder of SM Energy to represent Erie residents in the sale. Negotiations were done in secret and all details were kept from residents throughout the process.

The Draco Pad will be among the largest fracking operations in the area – drilling directly beneath 4,500 Erie homes and in proximity to Erie High School and Soaring Heights PK-8. The sale of Erie's mineral rights will allow the owners of the Draco Pad to meet State-required timelines to begin production despite significant opposition from residents. Erie residents and families deserve better!

As of June 12th, thanks to Erie residents sounding the alarm, the Colorado Attorney General's Office is officially reviewing the sale of Erie's mineral rights to SM Energy. Erie residents could use your help to shift this review into a full investigation by the Attorney General Phil Weiser and ask him to issue a statement indicating his intent to do so.

Please urge Attorney General Weiser to promptly conduct an investigation of the sale of Erie's mineral rights by sending a one-click letter!

Windsor residents, Brett C. and Neida S. are raising the alarm about a large-scale fracking operation proposed just outside their neighborhood. They are urging Windsor, Severance, and Timnath residents to educate themselves and each other about what this could mean for their families and their community.

Verdad Resources is proposing 22 new oil and gas wells in an already disproportionately impacted community. The Century Pad would endanger nearby residents and contribute to the climate crisis we are facing.
