The majority of petrochemical production in the United States has always taken place on the Gulf Coast. But, with low-priced shale gas from fracking in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia, the industry sees the Ohio River Valley as a manufacturing goldmine. Twenty-nine new gas-fired power plants are projected or under construction in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and West Virginia. Kathy Ferguson is a community organizer in the Ohio River Valley. She sits down with Rev Yearwood to discuss how we can fight against the petrochemical industry in the Midwest. Land in the Black community continues to be haggled away by politicians and business people who don’t live in these communities but look to profit through petrochemicals production. Petrochemicals contribute to air contamination, water pollution, and land deterioration, while greenhouse gases released also contribute to global climate change. Several studies have shown an increased amount of people with cancer living near these facilities.  The Coolest Show

 In Texas, between 2000 and 2016, petrochemical refineries released more than 400 million pounds of pollution into the air.

Iris Gonzalez is the coalition director at CEER, and Carol Smith serves as its climate ambassador.

Cancer Alley, the eighty-five-mile stretch located in the southern state of Louisiana along the lower Mississippi River where enslaved Africans were forced to labor, serves as an industrial hub, with nearly 150 oil refineries, plastics plants, and chemical facilities.  Over 100,000 people live in this area who have likely suffered long-term exposure to cancer-causing chemicals. With the expensive cost of cancer treatment and the density of low-income residents, developing cancer is essentially a death sentence.  Rev Yearwood speaks with environmental and climate justice experts Dr. Beverly Wright & Dr. Robert Bullard about federal environmental regulations failing to protect people, the history of "Cancer Alley," and the unjust transition in Louisiana.

For too long, people with political capital have known about water contamination and lead exposure and did nothing to fix these issues for communities of color. In many cases, elected officials made decisions to keep lead pipes in the ground for Black and Brown communities while acting swiftly to provide clean water to white communities.

He sits down with Rev Yearwood to break down the impact of lead exposure and how we can organize locally to fight for environmental justice.

And I'm excited to be a part of the sisterhood that's making things happen.”  The Coolest Show – brought to you by Hip Hop Caucus Think 100% PODCASTS – drops new episodes every Monday on environmental justice and how we solve the climate crisis.
