⬆️ If you move to #Alaska… you quickly learn these memories are as deeply embedded in the community as the oil is beneath the beaches. They fuel a fierce love of place. Paradoxically, direct experience of the spill is the possession of an increasingly older generation. The #Exxon #Valdez disaster is growing less tangible over time… you must be approaching 40 to even faintly recollect it. People here debate how to best keep the spill relevant, especially to younger people.

Today in Labor History March 24, 1989: The Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, dumping 240,000 barrels of crude oil. It was the largest oil spill in U.S. history until the Deepwater Horizon spill, in 2010. A major cause for the tanker’s collision was an overworked and under-rested crew, which the National Transportation Safety Board determined was a widespread practice. Thousands of people who participated in the cleanup efforts developed liver, kidney, lung, nervous system, and blood disorders due to 2-butoxyethanol and other agents that were used. An estimated 250,000 sea birds; 2,800 sea otters; 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles; 22 orcas; and unknown numbers of fish were killed by the spill. A study by the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA found that 90 tons of oil remained on beaches in Prince William Sound in 2001. The devastation to the local fisheries caused the bankruptcy of the Chugach Alaska Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation.

Canada has about 10 billion tons of Oil, burned that's 45 billion tons of CO2.

At the lowest hoped for price in the future of - "several hundred dollars a ton" it would cost Canada two trillion dollars to capture that carbon.

No daycares, no jobs, no new energy, just transferring all the $$$$ from your house to Exxon's owners.

Build the new energy, end carbon fuels, directly.

The costs of sequestering CO2 bankrupts a storm destroyed world. "PRE'" -sequestering carbon is FREE.

and to disgorge all of the profits obtained while acting unlawfully — a remedy that #Exxon tried and failed to get dismissed at the early stage of the #litigation.

#Vermont is now on track to enter the discovery phase, during which the State can obtain additional evidence of #BigOil ’s #climate lies that could be presented to a jury at trial.

Victory in Vermont! 🥳

The Green Mountain State's climate accountability lawsuit against #BigOil is moving one step closer toward trial after a state judge rejected the companies’ arguments to dismiss the case.

#Vermont is seeking to make #Exxon and its peers stop lying about the dangers of their products, including requiring a disclosure at every point of sale in the state about the role of #FossilFuels in #ClimateChange,

#Maine Sues Major #OilCompanies Over ‘Ongoing Deception’ About #ClimateChange

The lawsuit follows similar suits by eight other states and the District of Columbia against major oil companies, all alleging complicity in climate change. Those states are New Jersey, California, Delaware, Minnesota, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island

Story by Nina Golgowski
November 27, 2024

"The state of Maine has filed a lawsuit against five major oil companies and their top lobbying group, accusing them of carrying out a decades-long disinformation campaign about climate change and their contribution to it in order to maximize profits.

"Maine Attorney General Aaron Frey, in his lawsuit filed Tuesday in state court, accuses Exxon Mobil, Shell, Chevron, BP, Sunoco and the American Petroleum Institute of withholding internal knowledge about fossil fuels’ catastrophic effects all while spinning public doubt.

"'For over half a century, these companies chose to fuel profits instead of following their science to prevent what are now likely irreversible, catastrophic climate effects,' said Frey in a statement. 'In so doing, they burdened the State and our citizens with the consequences of their greed and deception.'"

@arrrg @GhostOnTheHalfShell

And Exxon ended up paying a mere 1/10th of original award by using their deep pockets to litigate the hell out of them, to try to make #Alaska pay the bill by falsely claiming it refused to give permission to use dispersants to clean up Valdez oil spill, make Coast Guard reimburse #Exxon for cleanup costs & damages b/c it issued mariners' licenses to the crew & they'd given Exxon Valdez permission to leave regular shipping lanes to avoid ice.

The Center for #Climate Integrity published a report in Feb that indicated the #plastics industry championed #recycling mainly for its public relations value, rather than as a tool for avoiding #environmental damage. "We are committed to the activities, but not committed to the results," a VP at #Exxon Chemical said during a meeting in 1994 w/staff for the American Plastics Council, a trade group, acc/to a doc uncovered by the Center for Climate Integrity.
