It threatens the future existence of the endangered Rice's whale...its ozone pollution would compromise the health of thousands of Gulf residents who have endured decades of fossil fuel industry pollution.
...the approval of a new offshore oil terminal - planned to be the largest in the U.S. - is in the 'national interest,' ...project had met several federal requirements and could begin operations by 2027.
...the $1.8 billion terminal project had undergone sufficient environmental impact reviews and would overall benefit the country...emitting greenhouse gases equivalent to those of nearly 90 coal-fired power plants.
