Gulf Coast residents are protesting insurance giant Chubb's support for methane and LNG export projects as part of the U.S. push for energy dominance under the Trump administration. The approval of large LNG facilities, particularly in predominantly Black, Brown, and low-income areas, highlights the environmental racism present in these developments. Local activists argue that these projects not only threaten the environment but also perpetuate social injustices. A report by the Rainforest Action Network illuminates how financial backers of LNG initiatives face risks associated with environmental degradation and social unrest.
Local organizers and climate groups have been fighting the expansion of 'methane export facilities' which they say will intensify climate chaos and environmental racism.
They're financing and insuring environmental racism because these projects are overwhelmingly situated in Black, Brown, and Indigenous communities they feel are the path of least resistance.
