Did a bunch of digging and I think I found the people who are controlling the weather and making all these hurricanes worse

"Environmentalists fought hard to strengthen the EPA’s Risk Management Program to account for the impacts of extreme weather on chemical accidents... But BioLab’s facilities, which fall outside of the program, will not."

I've not been aware of a fire involving so many chemical totes as happened at Permian Container Company, Odessa, Texas.
Many toxic chemicals - PFAS, benzene, hydrofluoric acid, etc. - are used to extract oil and gas.

Jim Morris says, PHW tells “complicated stories that many other journalists won’t touch because of the time commitment and storytelling challenges involved.. my feeling is that there’s plenty of excellent daily health coverage. We need to go in a different direction.”
Nice piece from @NiemanLab about our unusual approaches to distributing stories and connecting with the communities we cover. Please take a look.

“Unfortunately, extreme weather events are becoming increasingly more common and more severe. Chemical and refining facilities must be more prepared than ever to prevent a serious chemical accident from occurring.” - CSB Chair Steve Owens.

Our latest collaboration on plastics, this time led by Environmental Integrity Project @EnviroIntegrity:
The new Plastics Plants Production Capacity Inventory opens paywalled information for all to use.
The map is here: environmentalintegrity.org/p…
Plastic plants' production capacity data is often kept private, stuck behind paywalls, or otherwise difficult to find. To help fill this information gap, @EnviroIntegrity and @MaterialRsrch developed an inventory, available as of today, of 124 plants.
