Anyone serious about renewables or green energy would push for nuclear and hydro, as well as more research into carbon capture. If they aren’t looking at that, then their ‘green’ agenda is merely a cover to push things through people would otherwise not agree with. They’re also taking farmland from people and having the media label it as ‘protecting the land’.

And Americans especially, as one of the largest per capita contributors. And of course, as one of the largest economies, they consume a lot of the stuff produced by other countries, so wtv pollution is created to produce those goods is really on the American side as well.

So are you going to move the coal power plants, dumps and sewer treatment plants into the rich neighborhoods?
Infrastructure has to go somewhere. Rich people (probably including our presenter) can move whenever they want.
You can’t put these things nowhere. These are what causes most of these problems.
These types of people love to talk about these one off things like cancer alleys and of course anything that involves the State buying lots of expensive services and products from businesses they’ve “invested” in because politicians and their families and cronies make money indirectly from these transactions.
Rich people move away from pollution. This depresses land prices allowing poorer people to buy those properties.
Are you going to prevent poor people from buying cheap property? Are you going to make all real estate cost the same amount?
Sounds like a bunch of pandering bull crap to me. An unrealistic dream of central planning authoritarian aristocrats.
She will never live by the dump and she will never let it be built near her, but she will let someone else live near it. Her vision of equity is a lie even if she believes it.

you are missing the point – industry does not have to be polluting if their sites are built to avoid toxins etc from escaping. This might make their products more expensive but then everyone pays and not just those living in the near neighbourhood

Ugh. Yeah, it’s always about race. Thanks Peggy, your shekels have been deposited in your account.
If you care about environmental problems go to China or India. Except you don’t have a lot of white people to blame there even when like 80% of the worst pollution comes from the East not the West.

Sad to see so many uninformed comments. Did any of you even really listen to the video? She explained how environmental racism is a result of complicated history of redlining and bad policies. Is that really too hard to believe that the reason black communities were forced to live in highly polluted areas was because they were DENIED living in the healthier neighborhoods owned by white (racist) real-estate owners. Like, segregation was not that long ago people! Obviously, there have been good changes since then, but why are high polluting industries being permitted adjacent to poor (mostly black) neighborhoods at all?! Shouldn’t those people be given a say, shouldn’t they be compensated for the cost to their health? If there’s a way to avoid those polluting industries to being implemented at all and choose greener, healthier alternatives, why wouldn’t we take the better option? Y’all who are complaining about who’s gonna pay for it, why tf does that matter?! It’s the government’s fault for this being permitted in the first place, it’s the government who should have to pay for it (and yes, in turn, taxpayers). I swear, some of y’all only think about yourselves and your precious little capitalistic lifestyle, how about you dream a little?

Stop with the race thing already! As I’ve always said, it’s the media and people like this presenter who keep promoting the stereotype that blacks live misrable lives when, as a matter of fact, there are many who live better lives than a lot of white people.
Whenever an issue comes up, no matter how much sense someone makes, I simply lose total interest when they try to make it a race thing. Just stop!

I don’t even have to watch this video to know where it’s going, particularly when the leftist buzzwords of “equitable and just climate future” are used in the title. I just saved myself some 11 minutes from listening to the presenter tell me that I’m a racist and need to pay more of my hard earned money to support some leftist cause.

5 minutes in and she’s pissed me off. Pollution shouldn’t be happening anywhere, wether people live there or not, our entire planet is alive, teeming with little creatures a billion times more important and deserving of life than any human.
We humans are the ones completely killing the earth and species with our pollution, why is she only highlighting the negative affects it has on humans and acting like its okay to pollute where the animals live?
