Lazy summer days, serious clean water updates
Even during the slow summer months, our work continues to push Maryland forward for water quality and to fight against rollbacks on the federal level. With all of the changes happening on the federal level, it is a breath of fresh air to work in Maryland where most of our policymakers get the importance of protecting our streams and rivers. Here we may vehemently disagree on how far a policy should go, but we do not have fundamental disagreements about science or the human need for clean water. Here's what Clean Water Action has been up to in Maryland in the past month: Baltimore City Climate
The Latest Developments in the Fight to Shut Down Line 5
Over the course of the Pipeline Safety Advisory Board meetings more evidence has come to light about the condition of Line 5, raising concerns that it is in even worse shape than we had previously thought.
A close call last year in Baltimore - why we need to #stopoiltrains
One year ago today, I was woken up by texts letting me know that a train had derailed in downtown Baltimore and asking me if I knew what was going on. I had been working to fight crude oil trains for almost two years then, so I knew what might have happened if the train cars that had derailed had carried crude oil: an explosion and fire that would have killed community residents in their homes, damaged the campuses of the University of Baltimore and the Maryland Institute College of Art, and changed the face of Baltimore. Fortunately, the cars carried liquified petroleum gas vapors and acetone
Maryland leads against climate change and dirty water
Our national news is full of bad news for the environment, but we don't need the Paris Climate Accords to fight climate change. Here's some good news on our local campaigns across the state fighting for clean air, clean water, and health: Maryland acts on climate with offshore wind and onshore jobs. Many of you signed comments, wrote letters, and even spoke out at hearings to encourage the MD Public Service Commission to think big on offshore wind and make Maryland a national leader by approving offshore wind renewable energy credits to companies vying for space on Maryland's coast. And, less
The Environmental Risks and Oversight of Enhanced Oil Recovery in the United States
Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is the most common oil recovery practice in the U.S., accounting for an estimated 60% of domestic crude oil production. EOR involves the injection of fluids underground to increase the flow of oil and gas to the surface. Despite its prevalence, EOR is largely unknown to the public, poses threats to groundwater, and lacks adequate oversight from state and federal regulators.
