The Methane Hunter Exposes The Dark Side of Oil & Gas| Fully Charged Show Podcast with Sharon Wilson
Aug 26, 2024
On this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Robert
welcomes Texan Sharon Wilson. Sharon began her career in the oil &
gas industry but is now a leading figure in "methane hunting." As a
certified optical gas imaging thermographer, she travels across the
U.S., exposing the invisible methane pollution from oil and gas
facilities. Sharon uses this technology to educate policymakers,
media, and industry leaders through tours.
Sharon's dedication to documenting methane emissions and advocating
for environmental accountability arose from a personal experience.
Unaware of the environmental impact, she purchased 42 acres in Wise
County, Texas, bordering the LBJ National Grasslands. Unbeknownst
to her, George Mitchell was experimenting with fracking techniques
in the area. Witnessing firsthand the devastating effects of
fracking, with air turning brown and water turning black, she
documented her experience on her blog, texassharon.com.
This experience led Sharon and her son to relocate to Denton,
Texas, seeking a cleaner environment. However, this move ultimately
fueled her passion for environmental advocacy. In 2010, she joined
Earthworks' Oil & Gas Accountability Project, making it her life's
work. Enjoy Sharon's incredible story!
