'Irresponsible, greedy companies cannot be allowed to build a dangerous, climate-destroying deepwater disaster along our Texas Gulf Coast,' said Trevor Carroll, a Brazoria County Organizer at txenvironment.
"Choose our health and our climate over the greed of Enterprise and Enbridge."
The proposed terminal is bound to lead to"oil spills and leaks, noise pollution, [and] diminished and harmful air quality," said Page, who added that the"true cost" of the project"is my community's health and well-being." Gulf Coast communities are hit the hardest by the climate crisis, which is caused by emissions from fossil fuel production and use. SPOT will increase these emissions, further harming this region through climate-related disasters such as hurricanes, drought, and extreme heat. The proposed project poses a significant threat to sensitive ecosystems, fishing, hunting, cultural, and recreational resources that are endemic to the Gulf Coast and its local economy.
Trevor Carroll, a Brazoria County Organizer at Texas Campaign for the Environment, pointed out that"Enbridge has one of the worst track records of any pipeline company in the history of this country," while"Enterprise gouged Texans to the tune of hundreds of millions during [Winter Storm] Uri," leading to"These irresponsible, greedy companies cannot be allowed to build a dangerous, climate-destroying deepwater disaster along our Texas Gulf Coast," Carroll added.
