Thank you @AOC I would not be silenced by @RepClayHiggins so let's talk about #petrochemicals in #Louisiana that are disproportionately killing Black people, shattering climate efforts and suffocating the world in plastic and other toxics. A thread.
#Petrochemicals, which are the toxic oil and gas products used to make plastics and pesticides, are #bigoil's big bet - set to be the main consumer of crude oil by 2050 they will shatter climate efforts like the #ParisAgreement: reuters.com/business/envir…
@RepClayHiggins' Louisiana is home to 150 #petrochemical plants - they are a part of the state’s ongoing legacy of #fossilfuelracism, and are killing Black and low-income residents. theatlantic.com/culture/archiv…
@RepClayHiggins #bigoil backers work with beverage giants @CocaCola, @NestleUSA & @pepsi to expand the use of #petrochemicals greenpeace.org/international/…
@RepClayHiggins, #bigoil and #bigbeverage don't want us to move away from toxic, polluting #petrochemicals but we can and we must work to develop greener alternatives.greenbiz.com/article/increa…
Just yesterday a judge blocked a $9.4B #petrochemical plant in @RepClayHiggins Louisiana's #canceralley by cancelling their air permits. nytimes.com/2022/09/15/cli…
Listen to science, frontline advocates, reps like @AOC and don’t be fooled by politicians like @RepClayHiggins who are in the pocket of big oil.citizen.org/article/big-oi…
@AOC, My own family is fighting oil and gas extraction in #Alabama because oil companies are abusing bad laws to steal and destroy the land my great-parents farmed. tuscaloosanews.com/story/news/200…
