For @grist, my story on New Orleans' long-stalled plan to cut energy use from its largest buildings: grist.org/buildings/inside-n…

How many people knew that a corporation named Midcontinent Independent System Operator (MISO) had the authority to order a public utility to cut power to thousands?

Why did the power go out for nearly 100,000 Louisianans yesterday, on May 25? Head to our blog for answers to 9 major questions you might have about yesterday's load shedding event ⤵️

“[Carbon Capture] is a scam that will enrich the oil and gas and petrochemical industries further, prolonging their ability to destroy livelihoods and community health, poison fenceline communities and perpetuate climate change,” said Eloise Reid, coordinator of @nofalsesolution

Hydrogen is not a climate solution. It is “a perpetuation of fossil fuel dependency,” notes CIEL's @soopajane.
🛢️ 98% of hydrogen is derived from #FossilFuels
🏭 #FossilFuel industry then consumes that hydrogen for refining, fertilizers & petrochemicals.

Louisiana Public Comment Opportunity 🚨: After Biden export pause, Delfin LNG requests until 2029 to begin shipping gas

ALT After Biden export pause, Delfin LNG requests until 2029 to begin shipping gas On March 1, 2024, Delfin LNG LLC requested a five-year extension from the Department of Energy (DOE) to begin exporting liquefied natural gas (LNG) to countries without a free trade agreement with the U.S. (non-FTA countries) from the proposed deepwater off the coast of Louisiana.
ALT In January, the Biden Administration paused LNG exports to non-FTA countries, pending a review of the DOE's export approval process. Delfin LNG will be the first of 10 long-delayed LNG export terminals to test the DOE’s new policy on deadlines to begin exporting LNG. If approved, Delfin would have until June 1, 2029, to begin exporting up to 12 million metric tons of LNG per year.

Last night, residents in SW Louisiana were exposed to hazardous CO2 leaking from the Exxon-owned Denbury pipeline.This is an injustice we can & must overcome for our lives & future generations. @PHMSA_DOT @EPA @HealthyGulf @nofalsesolution #LouisianaDeservesBetter #JustTransition

Our public lands are sacred and cannot be sacrificed as a life support for fossil fuels. I led my colleagues in opposing the @forestservice's proposed rule allowing unprecedented rights for Carbon Capture and Storage projects in national forests.

CCS is costly, dangerous, and often ineffective - diverting focus from the climate crisis. We must protect our ecosystems, health, and environmental justice communities by standing against carbon pipelines and waste disposal on our public lands.

"What do I tell those parents? What do I tell that kid? The @EPA is supposed to be protecting them — what are they doing?” said Ted Zahrfeld. Residents of sacrifice zones say that in the face of the EPA’s absence, they’ll continue the fight on their own.

@EPA and @EPAMichaelRegan have ignored the wishes of Louisianians. We testified, sent in comments, and made our disapproval known. They didn’t listen. They have shown that they will sell us to corporate interests time and time again.

Our next step is holding Louisiana and the EPA accountable to protecting the communities forced to live with this untested technology in their backyards.
Louisiana Against False Solutions retweeted
The EJ provisions requiring the state act to protect communities from current or future environmental hazards must be enforced, and our goal is making sure they are. While our frustration with the overall decision is unwavering, we want to keep the dialogue ongoing.
Louisiana Against False Solutions retweeted
We have fought against CCS every step of the way – it’s dangerous, unproven and leaves Louisiana’s most vulnerable exposed to an untested pollution control technology.

🚨 In a blow to Louisiana communities, @USEPA has granted the state primacy over Class VI injection wells, signaling that — despite overwhelming opposition — fast-tracking dangerous carbon capture pipelines & underground injection sites is more important than safe, clean water.
Louisiana Against False Solutions retweeted
The VAST majority of those 40k comments to @EPA on Louisiana primacy were AGAINST it.
After 3 years of educating Louisiana people about the failures & dangers of carbon injection, I've NEVER met a community member who supported it.
This is a startling rebuke to the public.

Louisiana spent 3 times its annual wildfire fighting budget this year. A big funding boost is needed to battle future fires, says Ag Commissioner Mike Strain.
“There’s no other option.”
