Jet Fuel in the Water

Environmental regulations, particularly pertaining to the oil and gas industry, have undergone a dramatic overhaul during President Donald Trump’s second administration. To understand how the rollbacks are impacting people, Inside Climate News investigated a jet fuel pipeline spill that has tainted the drinking water source for more than 200 homes in Pennsylvania. Nearly two years since the spill was discovered, homeowners continue to struggle with the cleanup, while the fossil fuel company responsible has donated millions to the president and so far have avoided any significant penalties.
Elsewhere, a different type of pollution is wrecking havoc as Guatemala is inundated with cheap plastic imports and no infrastructure to manage the waste. As a result, many people have resorted to burning it, causing significant air pollution and health impacts.
