There are PFAS in products used in drilling for oil and gas.

There’s a group which track sites where these are used https://www.fractracker.org/2021/07/mapping-pfas-forever-chemicals-in-oil-gas-operations/

Colorado recently banned them for oil and gas extraction https://cen.acs.org/environment/persistent-pollutants/Colorado-bans-PFAS-oil-gas-extraction/100/web/2022/06

This piecemeal approach, state by state, sector by sector, seems odd and inefficient. If PFAS are dangerous these should be banned nationwide for all sectors.

Same goes for carbon pricing, it ought to be priced and high enough in all sectors, everywhere, to be most effective at curving pollution from fossil fuel.
