RDP and 146 other groups are urging the EPA to refer FERC's decision to greenlight the GTN Xpress Pipeline Project to the White House CEQ for review. The approval violates NEPA and undermines OR and WA's decarbonization laws. It can and must be reversed. therevolvingdoorproject.org/release-near...

“The United Nations Environmental Program just released a report indicating that fossil fuel production in 2030 is slated to be double what is compatible with 1.5 degrees warming. We need to act now. CalPERS should divest, rather than make unclear promises of net zero by 2050.” 1/2 #GreenSky
