Albany, NY Residents Protest Oil Trains

April 1, 2014 Chris Fry, www.workers.org , ,
At the urging of Albany, N.Y., neighborhood residents who were joined by several environmental organizations, on March 12 Albany County Executive Daniel McCoy placed a moratorium on oil company Global Partners’ plans to install seven boilers to heat tar sands oil here before loading it onto barges to ship down the Hudson River. At the same time, associates of the infamous billionaire Koch brothers announced plans for a 150-mile pipeline between the Albany train depot and the Bayway oil refinery in Linden, N.J., which is within the New York harbor area. This pipeline would run along the New York Thruway.

Groups Challenge Crude-By-Rail Shipments to Bay Area City

March 29, 2014 Staff, www.earthjustice.org ,
Earthjustice filed the complaint and injunction request on behalf of Communities for a Better Environment (CBE), the Asian Pacific Environmental Network, the Sierra Club, and the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) in the San Francisco Superior Court on Thursday. The Air District (BAAQMD) issued Kinder Morgan a permit to operate its crude-by-rail project in early February, without any notice to the public or environmental and health review. The case asks the court to halt operations immediately while the project undergoes a full and transparent review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Members of the Richmond community, perhaps even members of the BAAQMD’s Board of Directors, did not know that a permit to transport crude oil had been issued for over a month. According to longtime resident of Richmond and CBE organizer Andres Soto, the community is tired of being blind-sided and ignored.
