Over 25 idle wells found leaking in the Arvin/Lamont area 😷 11 of these wells remain uncapped, and their operators plan on keeping it that way. Gavin Newsom must push #CalGEM to do its job to clean up and cap orphan and idle wells #MakePollutersPay bakersfield.com/news/state-fin…

The last thing West Oakland or the Bay Area needs is more megaships and freight activity in this part of CA. The latest from West Oakland Environmental Indicators Project on why we need the federal gov't to commit to equity and #environmentaljustice in the fight against freight pollution. rb.gy/2yzjp

Clean air protections shouldn’t be negotiable but that’s exactly what industry did with CA’s At-Berth Rule due to U.S. EPA inaction. But a signature from Michael S. Regan would save Californians from breathing in 1.5 addl tons of deadly pollution every day! earthjustice.org/experts/regina…

Bringing more megaships to the Bay Area will have long-term consequences for how goods are moved through Nor Cal - inc more air and water pollution in frontline communities that can't afford it. Calling this a "construction" project is just plain wrong. kqed.org/science/198573…
