On Tuesday April 9th, the Gas Leaks Project organized a rally outside the downtown Washington headquarters of the American Gas Association. DC Third Actors joined a group of local climate activists (some of them dressed up as the “toxic” components of methane gas) in dramatizing the association’s long record of undermining climate policy and sowing misinformation about the hazards of gas appliances. The AGA is funded through millions of Americans’ monthly utility bills. With its customers’ money, it recently helped gut clean energy measures from model building codes nationwide and has used Big Tobacco PR tactics to hoodwink the public and regulators.
