"The new study by Industrious Labs, a nonprofit focused on emissions reduction, used the EPA’s COBRA model to find that emissions from the Gary Works plant likely are linked to 57–114 premature deaths, 48 emergency room visits, and almost 32,000 asthma attacks each year."
“I would love to see Gary Works transform to green sustainable steel, bringing more jobs, cleaning up the area, that would be an amazing win-win,” said Libré Booker, a librarian who grew up near the mill. ​“It’s definitely time for a change.” canarymedia.com/articles/gre…

📢 Big news! The U.S. Treasury & IRS released expanded guidance on the Advanced Manufacturing Production Credit (Section 45X), increasing investment in the primary #aluminum industry. This support is vital to facilities that are on the brink of collapse.👇🏼 industriouslabs.org/archive/…

Just 17 steelmaking facilities, all in the Midwest, are responsible for $7-13 billion in health damages (including 892 deaths) *every year*. In an age of new industrial policy, we would just require & pay for a clean retrofit. Via @industriouslabs canarymedia.com/articles/gre…

"This stuff just gets in your house. Everyone around here has some kind of breathing problem." Coal-based US steelmaking might be declining, but it's still a big source of CO2 & toxic pollution. @industriouslabs estimates health costs=$13.2B from 17 sites canarymedia.com/articles/gre…
