Moving From Concern To Activism with Methane Don Schreiber
Where: Zoom preregistration LINK
Description: When Jane and Don Schreiber moved from Farmington to their retirement home & ranch in northwest NM south of Dulce in the San Juan Basin things looked good. Then the oil drilling rigs started showing up. Because they did not own the mineral rights under their ranch, there didn’t seem like there was much they could do.
Don had a lot of trouble putting his concerns about methane and emissions into action and was kind of a one-man-band for a long time. Don will share with us his journey moving from concern to activism. He hopes what folks might see is the possibility of action being started by an individual, and hopes his transition would inspire/reinforce others to hang in there and move their concern to action.
Today, Don is widely known as “Methane” Don and respected by the state oil and gas regulators and advocates in the environmental community. When Hilcorp, the well owners on their ranch, break the pollution rules, there are now consequences. In October 2024, Hilcorp was fined $9.4M for violations resulting from Hilcorp’s failure to reduce emissions during well completion operations in NM. At last, state and federal regulation of the oil and gas industry is beginning to improve. LINK
Join us to hear the Schreiber’s story of resistance against seemingly impossible odds.
