Is plastic messing with our fertility? The Plastic Detox follows six couples facing unexplained infertility—and what happens when they try cutting plastic out of their daily lives. What they uncover points to a bigger issue: how everyday exposure to plastics (and the chemicals in them) could be impacting our health in ways we’re only starting to understand. netflix.com/title/82074244…

Our data shows just how widespread this is—tens of thousands of wells and millions of tons of toxic waste across DFW alone. And most people have no idea where that waste ends up. fractracker.org/data/

A whistleblower says radioactive fracking waste he handled “melted” his jaw. Now there’s an elementary school built on top of that same site. thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/11/a-w…

More than 1 million gallons of drilling fluid were lost into an abandoned coal mine in Washington County, PA during drilling for the Chiarelli to Imperial Pipeline Project. Spills occurred at least 19 times between October and January. The company told PA DEP it did not contact nearby residents or test groundwater after the fluid disappeared into the mine. The incidents are now under investigation. wesa.fm/environment-en…

A whistleblower says years of handling radioactive fracking waste left him with severe radiation-related injuries — and the site where the waste was spread is now home to an elementary school. And our data shows over 21,000 oil & gas wells across the Dallas–Fort Worth region. Read the investigation ⬇ thebarbedwire.com/2026/02/11/a-w…

A Colorado case could strengthen protections for communities living near oil and gas development. Regulators are considering requirements that would push drilling farther from homes and drinking water sources — a major step toward prioritizing public health over profits. laprogressive.com/the-environmen…

Corporate media has been portraying #CA as "green" & "progressive" for decades. Here's the reality: more new #oildrilling permits approved in Jan. 2026 than all of 2025. #cawater #BigOil #DeltaTunnel @envirovoters @ConsumerWD @FracTracker @AntoniaJuhasz sacramento.newsreview.com/2026/02/10/con…

Most people still don’t know much about data centers — but opinions change quickly once they learn how much energy they use. New charts from E&E News break down public awareness and how people feel about the rapid expansion of data centers tied to AI.eenews.net/articles/what-…

🛑 The Ohio EPA is considering a draft permit that would let data centers release untreated wastewater and stormwater directly into rivers and streams. wowktv.com/news/ohio-epa-…

📊 A new NRDC report finds that not one of the 12 biggest oil- and gas-producing states are doing all they can to protect health and the environment — from weak setbacks and bonding to gaps in waste and water safeguards. nrdc.org/resources/how-…

AI data centers are rapidly expanding into small communities, bringing major power demand and land use impacts with them. But residents are fighting back 💪@WSJ spotlights rural opposition to this buildout — including a community member we organized with around the Howell site! wsj.com/politics/polic…

Three years after the East Palestine derailment, the next phase is not closure, it's research. A federally funded health research program is now underway, bringing together universities to track long-term exposure, collect health data, and work with residents over time. thehill.com/opinion/health…

ICYMI: China is expanding fracking and boosting shale gas production, pushing the country toward becoming the world’s third largest gas producer. telegraph.co.uk/business/2026/…

AI demand is driving a major buildout of gas power. New reporting finds the U.S. is leading a global surge in gas fired plants tied to energy intensive AI data centers, with projects that could expand global gas capacity by nearly 50 percent and lock in decades of fossil fuel pollution. theguardian.com/environment/20…
