Colorado regulators are proposing a $1.53 million penalty against Chevron-owned Noble Energy for a blowout of a fracking well that sprayed pollutants over homes and a school in Weld County.

This one is a no-brainer. 90% of Colorado voters agree: Oil and gas companies—not taxpayers—should foot the bill for cleanup and restoration after drilling. Why should taxpayers cover the cleanup costs when oil companies make the profits? U.S. Department of the Interior keep the requirement that industry pays for restoration.

This Valentine's Day, we're breaking up with fossil fuels. 💔⛽
It's not us, it's CO2. Oil and gas have been gas-lighting our future for too long, and frankly, this relationship is toxic. 🚩
So we're shooting our shot with renewables instead. 💘☀️🌬️
Will YOU be our Valentine and commit to clean energy? Here's what we're asking for:

Phase out fossil fuels and stop new fracking permits 🚫
Invest in solar, wind, and renewable infrastructure ☀️💨
Protect our air, water, and climate for future generations 💧🌍
Champion a just transition with good, local jobs ✊

Swipe through for punny (but serious) Valentine's messages, then TAG YOUR REPS and ask: ""Will you be our Valentine and commit to climate action?"" 💌

Thanks to for the inspiration!

75% of humanity lives in water-insecure countries. Half our major lakes are shrinking. 70% of our aquifers are in decline. We've lost 30% of our glaciers since 1970.

The UN says we've damaged our water systems ""beyond realistic prospects of full recovery."" And Colorado? We're writing checks our water systems can't cash. Billions of gallons of water consumed by fracking each year, and thousands of toxic oil spills threatening what's left.

The planet is overdrawn. We're bankrupting our children's future.
It's time to stop. Sign the open letter to end fracking by 2030 (link in bio). 👆

Coloradans depend on clean, healthy water, and fracking puts it at risk. When billions of gallons are taken out of our water cycle, we all lose. Let’s protect what makes this place home by phasing out new oil and gas fracking. Share this post and sign the Open Letter of Support at safeandhealthyco.org

Today we pause. The longest night reminds us why we do this work; to protect the quiet beauty of moments like these, the wild places that restore us, and the future we’re building together.

As the light begins its return, we’re grateful for this community and the time you’ve taken to connect with nature and loved ones this season.

Rest well tonight. Tomorrow, we rise together. 🌲✨

Colorado has seen wildfire season grow hotter and longer, and scientists have attributed this directly to the pollution from oil and gas operations! Coloradoans pay to subsidize fracking, and to repair our communities after these wildfires. Sign the letter at safeandhealthyco.org today to tell our politicians that we do not want to approve any more fracking permits in our beautiful state!
