📰 News we're reading
• Greenpeace Scrutinizes the Environmental Record of the Company That Sued the Group (insideclimatenews.org) — A new Greenpeace report spotlights Energy Transfer’s 2024 Justice pipeline explosion in Deer Park, where a crash-triggered blast released large amounts of hazardous liquids, injured residents, damaged homes, and led to a shelter-in-place for over 1,000 properties. The report argues incidents like Deer Park show broader environmental and safety risks from the company’s pipelines, while Energy Transfer disputes Greenpeace’s conclusions.
