Fossil fuel extraction has been a huge topic of discussion regarding the sanctity of our environment, especially within Pennsylvania. While many lawmakers have looked to increase the amount of drilling that takes place, many point out how while profits may increase for big business, fossil fuels will cause irreparable harm to global climate progress. Our Climate Justice, and Jobs organizer, Pamela Darville penned an essay replying to the climate crisis in response to comments made by current legislators.
“Recent opinion pieces and public comments by Senator McCormick and other members of Congress pushing for expanded fossil fuel extraction in Pennsylvania represent ode to corporate greed, masquarading as energy policy. Their central premise- that doubling down on Pennsylvania’s fossil fuel extraction will secure “energy dominance” is not just myopic; it is a direct threat to public health, logical stability, and global climate progress.” -Pamela Darville
