This Former Oil Worker Is Now Exposing Its Dirty Methane Emissions

Former oil worker Sharon Wilson exposes the fossil fuel industry's severe methane problem. Armed with an infrared camera, she documents invisible leaks across Texas, which are often far higher than reported. Prompted by fracking on her land, Wilson's work holds corporations accountable for the massive climate impact of this potent greenhouse gas - over 80 times more powerful than CO2 - and reveals numerous unreported "super-emitter" events.
