gonna do a thread on the @DNC removal of fossil fuel subsidy language, and why it's, ah, sorta suspect. Sit down. #EndFossilFuelSubsidies

@DNC as quoted in @blkahn excellent piece yest. bit.ly/3hpmDdX the #EndFossilFuelSubsidies language was included in a manager's mark "by mistake" and removed later by agreement of the Biden/Bernie campaigns. I'm gonna go into some process deets, bear with me.

Energy decisions have transboundary impacts. Yet assessments of large-scale energy infrastructure (e.g. EIS) rarely consider upstream/downstream emissions. Justice implications are completely omitted. Net effect = incomplete & flawed energy decisions (2)
The old Salem plant burned coal from La Guajira, Colombia. Fracked gas from PA, USA, now supplies the new gas-fired station*. Decision-makers ignored the ‘upstream’ injustices experienced by both communities. (3)
