Our most explosive happy hour yet!
As we recover from the news of recent oil train explosions in West Virginia and Ontario over the last week, citizens of Baltimore are joining the national movement against crude oil export terminals and crude-by-rail
shipments.
Targa Terminals, located in South Baltimore, recently applied for a construction permit to expand and retrofit its existing export pier to store, handle, process and ship more than nine million barrels of crude oil per year to East Coast refineries. If approved, this project would put thousands of Baltimore residents at risk as trains carrying North Dakota crude oil, known to be highly explosive and volatile, and Canadian tar sands oil, travel on rail lines criss-crossing Baltimore neighborhoods.
Representatives from Chesapeake Climate Action Network and the Sierra Club will update residents on the situation and how local citizens can get involved to protect the air quality, public safety, and environment in our neighborhoods (and, on the large scale, our global community) from these concerning developments.
