Groups take action to halt oil tanks near schools and overburdened communities

Earthjustice, representing and co-counseling with Communities for a Better Environment, sued the City of Long Beach for approving a controversial crude oil storage project at the Port of Long Beach. The project — proposed by World Oil Terminals — includes the construction of two 25,000-barrel tanks, exacerbating environmental and health harms for environmental justice communities already overburdened by industrial pollution from the second busiest port in the United States.

The Bad River Band of Lake Superior is contesting the wetland and waterway permit that the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources granted to Enbridge to construct the Line 5 reroute project.

The Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa filed a lawsuit against the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for producing an inadequate final Environmental Impact Statement on Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 reroute, violating the Wisconsin Environmental Protection Act.

The Manchin-Barrasso Energy Permitting Reform Act of 2024 (EPRA) includes several provisions that seek to promote electricity transmission, liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports, and oil and gas leasing. It is expected to increase deployment of both fossil fuel and clean energy infrastructure, yielding a combination of beneficial and harmful impacts on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, health, environmental justice, and ecosystems. This raises a complex and immensely consequential question with respect to the climate crisis: would this tradeoff take us in the right direction?
