Chemical Train Disaster in Ohio

On February 3, everything changed for residents of East Palestine, Ohio, when a Norfolk Southern train derailed just outside of town, causing an evacuation and an environmental disaster. Fifty cars of the train derailed, including eleven tankers of highly toxic chemicals. In an effort to stop a catastrophic explosion, emergency responders released five tanker cars of vinyl chloride and ignited the chemicals.

Fossil Fuel-to-Clean Energy Transition

Invest in Clean Energy, Not LNG

Sign our petition today to stop JP Morgan Chase and Goldman Sachs from funding the Port Arthur LNG project.

Los Trucos Sucios de la Energía Sucia/The Dirty Tricks of the Dirty Energy Industry

Dos nuevos y devastadores reportes han revelado una vez más las mentiras y enganos de la industria de combustibles fosiles para esconder decadas de su conocimiento cientifico sobre el cambio climático y los efectos de sus productos en el planeta. Uno fue encargado por el American Peroleum Institute en 1968; el otro, por Exxon, pocos anos despues. Ambos han resultado ser asombrosamente exactos en predecir como los combustibles fosiles destruyen nuestra atmosfera.

[link removed]
Aun asi, como escribe el director asociado de Comunicaciones, Javier Sierra, la industria parece no haber aprendido nada de este pasado corrupto y sigue con sus prácticas destructivas.


Two new devastating reports have uncovered once again the fossil fuel industry’s lies and deceptions to hide their decades-long scientific knowledge about climate change and the effects their products have on our planet. One was commissioned by the American Petroleum Institute in 1968; the other, by Exxon, in the 1970's. Many decades later, both proved to be astonishingly accurate in predicting how fossil fuels are destroying our atmosphere.

[link removed]
Yet, as Associate Director of Communications Javier Sierra writes, the industry seems to have learned nothing from this corrupt past and continues its destructive practices.
