Energy Justice NC

A coalition of like-minded organizations coming together for a greater goal. It’s time for Energy Justice. It’s time to end the Duke monopoly.

Maine will soon decide whether to take over the state’s electric utilities. Consultants are making big money helping blanket the state in ads while poor residents face shut-offs.

Y’all, I’m a puddle. I just want all of my rainbow-flag-flying siblings to feel cloaked in love + empathy. I want us all to be safe. I want us to be free. And I want to live in a world where those things are not only possible, but expected, guaranteed, & affirmed.

Update: Mountain Valley Pipeline, facing certainty of an order from @FERC to cease all construction, says it "will refrain from new forward-construction activities" except at a few locations where completion of work is necessary (according to MVP)!!

"The gas from the pipeline is unnecessary, the permanent local jobs provided are minimal, the endangerment to precious species is irreversible, water sources will be polluted, & earthquake & landslide prone areas stand in its wake," - @POWHR_Coalition

Whole lotta word salad in the reg reform bill. I put the #environment section into plain language so everyone could understand what's at stake (hint: a ton). @NCNewsline #ncpol #ncga https://t.co/FyTs3mfZtJ

Lemme tell ya, this reg reform bill (H600) that will be heard in Senate Judiciary at 2pm basically shreds several water quality laws into confetti. As well as some governing haz waste. @ncdeq @NCNewsline #ncga #ncpol

[Oil Change International @PriceofOil]

Biden must stop all new fossil fuel projects, phase out existing ones, and declare a climate emergency. #StopMVP

[Appalachians Against Pipelines @stopthemvp]

This is not the end. The MVP has yet to cross hundreds of streams and waterways and the National Forest. There is still so much to fight for: the Candy Darters and the Indiana Bats, the hills and hollers that people call home, clean drinking water and healthy air. #StopMVP

IEN Keep it in the Ground Lead Coordinator, Brenna Two Bears calls out Biden at #SB58 in Bonn for sacrificing Indigenous communities and undermining NEPA protections.

[Jonathan Sokolow @JonSokolow]

"This agreement is far from a compromise,....It's a surrender to Big Oil and Republican hostage-takers in Congress. Democrats should vote NO on this disgraceful deal and force a vote on a clean debt limit increase."

There are over 12,000 high-risk chemical facilities in the U.S. - roughly 40% of US residents, disproportionately BIPOC communities, live within a 3 mile radius with the threat of leaks, spills & explosions.
