Dramatic oil and gas flare burning

CAVU Launches Methane Matters Campaign

Recently CAVU launched its Methane Matters campaign to create awareness and gather public input on New Mexico’s HUGE methane problem. NM is ranked #50 in education across the nation, yet #3 in oil production and #9 in gas. We need to capture the $244,000,000 in methane that is being leaked, vented and flared on our public lands and better fund our schools! CAVU is partnering with 30+ organizations and businesses to remind Governor-elect Michelle Lujan Grisham that methane capture is a high priority for New Mexicans. Please visit methanemattersnm.org to learn more and add your voice to the growing support for common sense methane rules in New Mexico!
