Over four months the #AlisoCanyon Natural Gas Storage Facility in Los Angeles County released more than 100,000 tons of methane, drowning nearby communities in toxic fumes" https://calmatters.org/commentary/2026/01/aliso-canyon-decade-gas-leak/

Nosebleeds, rashes and the smell of rotten eggs: Inside the aftermath of the largest methane leak in US history
Regulations on gas storage facilities have been tightened since the detection of the Aliso Canyon leak, which started in 2015 and lasted nearly four months. But residents remain worried about long term health effects.
Pattie541The California Public Utilities Commission is acting as a “capture regulator,” allowing SoCalGas to profit, while 1 million residents are put at risk. #AlisoCanyon must be shut down ASAP! See https://bit.ly/411yoRp for more info.
The #AlisoCanyon gas leak poured out 97,000 tons of methane gas in the worst gas leak in US history. CA swore to close Aliso Canyon but they're still waffling. There are still thousands of people in the line of fire. Tell them to keep their promises. https://actionnetwork.org/letters/governor-newsom-shut-aliso-canyon-down/
Governor Newsom: Shut Aliso Canyon Down!
It’s been nearly two years since the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) mapped out possible timelines to shut down the Aliso Canyon gas storage facility. But we’re still no closer to actually shutting Aliso down. Instead, the CPUC has repeatedly increased gas storage at Aliso Canyon. Day after day, the community living near this dangerous facility is still suffering the aftermath of the largest methane gas blowout in United States history. We need Governor Newsom to step up and keep his promise of expediting the closure of Aliso Canyon. Tell Governor Newsom and his appointed CPUC to protect the safety of Los Angeles residents by finalizing a timeline to close Aliso Canyon by 2027.
"Puzzled why she hadn’t heard from any government agencies about the largest natural gas leak in U.S. history, she picked up the phone and called SoCalGas. Their response shocked her. They told me you need to evacuate right now". #AlisoCanyon https://www.dailynews.com/2023/10/24/eight-years-after-disastrous-aliso-canyon-gas-leak-residents-still-seek-answers

"Critics say the decision comes at a high cost to both the climate and human health"
"California regulators voted Thursday to increase the capacity of a Los Angeles #NaturalGas storage field, where a 2015 blowout caused the nation’s largest-ever #MethaneLeak and forced thousands from their homes.
"Locals, environmental advocates, and lawmakers have called for the closure of the facility, which has been approved to increase more than 20% in capacity."
