✨ New: @Apen4ej report estimates cleanup costs at the Phillips 66 refinery in Carson are about $910 million — with no clear plan for who will pay. Taxpayers and nearby communities shouldn't have to foot the bill for Big Oil's mess. More: buff.ly/Efe8OVI
Just dropped: Our new report estimates cleanup of the former Phillips 66 Carson refinery could cost up to *$910 million.* With no clear plan to cover the full cost, Carson residents could be left wondering who will pay for decades of remediation.

1/x We’re tuning in to California’s @AirResources hearing. Today, Newsom’s air regulators are considering rushed changes to the Cap-and-Invest system that would divert BILLIONS from housing, transit, clean water— and send it straight to Big Oil ☠️
47/ However, it’s not enough to stop the proposal. The board votes to move forward the proposed changes with 3 board members dissenting.
Let’s be clear: @CAgovernor's air regulators voted to cut billions from housing, transit, and climate and hand it to Big Oil. A betrayal.
After 8 hours of comments against the proposal, and with massive questions left unanswered, @AirResources ignored the public and voted yes.
This isn't over. We're going to keep fighting 🔥 Thank you to everyone who joined us in fighting back against this handout to Big Oil.
