If there is a problem, then not only will local officials not know about it, EPA is not going to know about it.” - @Earthjustice

@ADMupdates didn’t disclose a leak at its Illinois carbon capture facility *for months* (via @grist, @__juanpab, @WBEZ). https://t.co/DeNNXI7A3M #ccs

Everyone should read this Grist & @wbez-fm-91.5 article and learn more about the dangers of CCS: https://t.co/DeNNXI7A3M

@ILCleanJobs Such great news!!

@ILCleanJobs Such great news!!

Good interview with @PrairieRivers. @GovPritzker: There is a big difference between regulating a potential problem and preventing a potential problem from happening. Federal regulations did not prevent the ADM leaks. #ccs

Join @PrairieRivers at the Brookens Center in Urbana on October 10, at 6:30pm, to support the Champaign County Board as it considers passing a moratorium to protect the Mahomet Aquifer. Details here: https://t.co/ScY05eXkA4

@brendenmoore13 @GovPritzker @GovPritzker ADMs two leaks in less than one year demonstrate why we need a Mahomet Aquifer Sequestration Ban. The Mahomet serves nearly 1 million, and its designation as sole source means there is no reasonably available alternative water supply should it become contaminated.

There are so many concerns about the viability of #CCS after the failure of ADM's storage project. Lack of transparency, unanswered questions, and risks to our water among them.

ADM has two monitoring wells, and they are both leaking. Just weeks after ADM was cited for violating the Safe Drinking Water Act for a leak in one of their monitoring wells, the company announced a pause on carbon injections due to a leak in their second monitoring well.

The @EPA’s massive #carboncapture investment is based on assumptions that don’t hold up under scrutiny, overlooking serious questions about the costs, performance, and safety of #CCS. (via @djwamsted/@ieefa_institute & @UtilityDive) https://t.co/WYdcBu0JQ3

[Eco-Justice Collab. @EJCollaborative]

Read about the dangers of #carboncapture: @ADMupdates has paused its #CCS project after discovering dangerous seepage from one of its wells (via @leahjdouglas & @Reuters).

[Eco-Justice Collab. @EJCollaborative]

What? A second monitoring well leak has been reported by ADM at their Decatur sequestration facility in less than two weeks? This is why we must say NO to carbon storage under the Mahomet Aquifer! https://t.co/pATBuyx0kL

"An investigation by ProPublica and the Guardian revealed that the EPA had calculated that one of the chemicals intended to serve as jet fuel was expected to cause cancer in one in four people exposed over their lifetime." And yet, they approved it? Now withdrawing that approval.

[Food & Water Watch @foodandwater]

GOOD. It's long past time to end production of carcinogenic, plastic-based chemicals. https://t.co/fyGDfSlRgP

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

I was proud to co-lead a Senate Climate Change Task Force and @SEEC meeting on LNG exports. Witnesses from across the globe shared how Big Oil is exporting fossil fuels to keep up with a global demand that doesn't exist—just their demand for profits at the expense of communities.

ICYMI: Inaction & poor planning from power grid operator PJM means ComEd customers will pay a significantly higher power price next summer. CUB: “Once again, PJM has been slow to adapt, and electric customers will (again) pay the price." Read our Q&A: https://t.co/aYtGIm2yd3

@billmckibben @sunrisemvmt This IS a great step forward. We also need to support our youth by ending subsidies for fossil fuels with 45Q. Thank you @SenWarren, @SenAngusKing, & @RepRoKhanna for demanding more accountability, and to @RepRoKhanna for introducing a bill that would end the use of 45Q for EOR.

[Climate Power @ClimatePower]

.@BillNye the climate guy is back, and this time he’s breaking down how Republican leaders are ignoring science for their benefit.

Fires, floods, and extreme heat are having major effects on Americans' health. Science isn’t partisan—it’s patriotic. https://t.co/Gbcx0P8Mzf

Today @cnannicelli has a message for #ilga: "By making strategic investments in energy storage, transmission & demand management, IL can build on the successes of past legislation, ensure grid reliability at lower costs & continue to lead on clean energy" https://t.co/A1HiN9aoCT

[Rep. Ro Khanna @RepRoKhanna]

Fossil fuel companies currently receive a tax credit for injecting carbon dioxide into oil wells to extract more oil, a process known as enhanced oil recovery.

I reintroduced my bill, the End Polluter Welfare for Enhanced Oil Recovery Act, to repeal it.
