A year ago last month, #MarathonPetroleum downplayed a 3-day fire at its #Louisiana refinery, built in 1977 (3rd largest in the US).
It was “one of the largest accidental releases of flammable chemicals since 1994, when [#EPA] began monitoring” hazardous facilities.
How it was handled SHOULD be criminal. Be prepared to be POed.
THEY LET SCHOOL GO ON.
Canceled VA hospital evac.

"The largest illegal campaign contribution from a federal contractor to date appears to have been $1 million in 2022, contributed by the #MarathonPetroleum Company to the respective super PACs for both House and Senate Republicans. At the time, a unit of the Marathon company was in negotiations for a small, one-off contract to provide jet fuel to a government agency. The violation resulted in an $85,000 fine."

#FossilFuel firms spent millions on #US lawmakers who sponsored #antiprotest bills
About 60% of #OilAndGasIndustry operations protected from protest due to money spent on lobbying, says #Greenpeace USA report

23 Oct 2023"Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign donations to state lawmakers who sponsored anti-protest laws – which now shield about 60% of US gas and oil operations from protest and civil disobedience, according to a new report from Greenpeace USA.
"Eighteen states including #Montana, #Ohio, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #WestVirginia and the #Dakotas have enacted sweeping anti-protest laws which boost penalties for trespass near so-called critical infrastructure, that make it far riskier for communities to oppose pipelines and other fossil fuel projects that threaten their land, water and the global climate.
"Another four states have enacted narrower versions of the same law, but which could still be exploited to issue trumped-up charges against peaceful protesters. Many were based on a 'model bill' promoted by the industry-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec).
"According to the report, nine of the top 10 companies that lobbied most for anti-protest bills since 2017 are fossil fuel companies, including US companies #ExxonMobil, #KochIndustries and #MarathonPetroleum, as well as Canadian companies #Enbridge and #TCEnergy (#TransCanada).
"In addition, 25 fossil fuel and energy companies have contributed more than $5m to state anti-protest bill sponsors in this timeframe, data from political finance trackers #OpenSecrets and #FollowTheMoney shows."
