The Pipeline Fight - with Rosemary Wessel
While the news about climate change continues to get worse, the oil and gas industry is busy constructing more gas pipelines to bring more fossil fuel to the market for us to burn.
In the news this week, Patti and Doug talk about oil producing countries blocking a worldwide plastic treaty, the top ten foods that contain microplastics, and how a new geothermal plant is producing energy for thousands of California customers. Then Rosemary Wessel, co-founder of No Fracked Gas in Mass and the Clean Energy Transition Program Director of the Berkshire Environmental Action Team talks about her work advocating for clean, renewable energy and against the expansion of natural gas pipelines in the Northeast.
