Did you know that many everyday comforts moms love — like cozy blankets, lotions, and even certain perfumes — come from petroleum-based products?๐ข๏ธ๐
Behind every student’s success is a mother, or mother figure, who believed in them. Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at the Energy Education Foundation! ๐

This #StarWarsDay, we’re using the Force to reveal a surprising power source: petroleum!
From lightsabers (well, the plastic ones) to the screen you binge Star Wars on, oil is used in more of your household essentials than you might think. ๐บ๐ก
Without petroleum, we’d be missing out on plastic, synthetic fabrics, aspirin, and more! So next time you're watching your favorite Jedi battle it out, remember: the Force isn’t the only thing powering your world.
๐ฌ What’s something in your home made from oil that totally surprised you?

Not all superheroes wear capes. ๐ฆธโ๏ธ
Some wear badges. Some carry hoses.
Some power the world behind the scenes.
This #NationalSuperheroDay, we're thanking all of the everyday heroes - from first responders, firefighters, and police officers to healthcare workers, teachers, scientists and energy industry workers. ๐ค
๐ฅ These real-life superheroes keep our communities safe, strong, and powered when it matters most.

Yesterday, our Executive Director, Kristen Barley, joined 600+ Texans and 40+ partner organizations at the Capitol at @txoga Oil & Gas Association Energy Day. This event was a fantastic opportunity to hear from state leadership and speak directly to legislators and regulators about the importance of the oil and natural gas industry to our state's economy and energy security.
In addition to the key messages they communicated to legislators, Kristen highlighted the importance of energy education. As a nonprofit organization focused on energy education, it is essential for everyone to understand how energy is produced, distributed, and consumed.

Celebrating Jose’s Next Adventure
Today, we say goodbye to Jose, who has been a vital part of our museum team for the past 5 years. He started as a docent and worked his way up to become our Museum Manager, making a lasting impact on our visitors and staff.
Jose’s dedication and leadership have been invaluable, and while we’ll miss him, we’re excited for his next chapter. He’s heading back into the industry to build and transport production platforms with heavy lift vessels—a challenge we know he’ll excel at.
Thank you, Jose, for everything you’ve done for the Ocean Star Museum. You will always have a place here.
