Always enjoy walking through canyons with my camera and Box Canon in Ouray was exceptional! Of course the falls are the main highlight but there’s so many unique vantage points here! #photography #ouray #colorado #blackandwhite

Where would you rather spend the night? Two February evenings both in the mountains above #Ouray, #Colorado.

Happy New Year!!! #Ouray #Colorado #fireworks

Here's the town of #Ouray, #Colorado smothered in fresh snow as the peaks 5,000 vertical feet above town still catch the dusk alpenglow. Easy to see why this place is called the "Switzerland of America". From December 2012. #SanJuanMountains

My hike on the Weehauken Trail last week. This is up Camp Bird Road just south of Ouray (which leads to LOTS of other places too). This trail starts of as Weehauken, branching off to the Alpine Mine overlook.

There is almost nothing left of the Alpine Mine so I concentrated on landscape pictures.

#OilAndGas emissions in #Utah a threat to public health, report says

#Pollutants released into the atmosphere with excess #NaturalGas create smog and endanger public health, especially in #Duschesne and #Uintah counties.

by Anastasia Hufham, Oct. 21, 2023

"When natural gas producers waste gas and emit #methane in Utah, it’s not only the economy that suffers, according to a report. Air quality, public health and the environment lose out, too.

"'It’s not just methane,' Ashley Miller, executive director of Breathe Utah, told The Salt Lake Tribune. 'It’s other hazardous #AirPollutants that we really care about for public health. When you have a real serious air quality problem in these areas, there’s people living in these areas, and we want to protect human health as much as we can.'

"In 2016, the report says, air pollution from the oil and gas industry led to eight deaths per million, as well as 1,040 asthma exacerbations per million among #children.

"Oil and gas production sites emit what are called volatile organic compounds, or #VOCs, according to the report, when companies release natural gas into the atmosphere through #flaring, #venting and #leaking.

"Volatile organic compounds create ground-level #ozone, better known as #smog, which is a major public health concern in Utah. The report notes that volatile organic compounds in smog can worsen respiratory conditions, like #asthma, and even cause #HeartDisease. Also, #benzene, another pollutant released during oil and gas production, has been proven to cause #cancer.

The report was published by Synapse Energy Economics, Inc., a research and consulting firm; the Environmental Defense Fund, a nonprofit focused on finding solutions to environmental pollution; and Taxpayers for Common Sense, a nonpartisan watchdog group that advocates for the responsible use of taxpayer dollars.

"The report states that Utah’s #FossilFuel producers released 16 billion cubic feet of natural gas in 2019, and 87% was lost from wells leaking natural gas due to faulty equipment.

"Duschesne and Uintah counties — where 85% of oil and gas wells are concentrated in the state — received F grades from the American Lung Association’s State of the Air report this year. Those two counties cover the Uinta Basin, where the #Uintah and #Ouray Indian Reservation is also located.

"'We really understand the importance and value of the fossil fuel industry in Utah, especially to those communities where it’s really the only source of revenue and jobs,' Miller said.

"Petroleum production in the Uinta Basin isn’t slowing down. The oil industry is booming in Duschesne and Uintah counties, and statewide oil and gas employment grew by 16% between 2021 and 2022.

"Emissions from oil and gas production also have concerning environmental impacts. Oil and gas production is a large emitter of methane, a #GreenhouseGas more powerful than carbon dioxide, which is the largest component of natural gas.

"The Environmental Protection Agency has issued a proposal to reduce methane emissions by ensuring that wells are checked frequently for leaks using monitoring equipment. The proposal would also require companies to continue monitoring wells for emissions until they are plugged after production."

@bookstodon I mostly read on my Kindle, but I found this magical print book in a bookstore in #Ouray, Colorado last summer, and have enjoyed reading it at the beach, on planes, etc. while vacationing in Hawai’i. “Americanah” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
