EJC partnered with Prairie Rivers Network to pass legislation that protects Illinois’ ONLY sole-source aquifer from CO2 pollution!
Don’t tolerate Senator Sheehy’s proposal to criminalize peaceful protests of CO2 pipelines. Insist Congress adopt amendments that protect Illinois communities from these hazardous pipelines!
Oil and gas industry has poured nearly a $ billion into carbon capture and storage, claiming it is a climate solution. But what’s the REAL story?
The passage of this bill shows an informed and organized public can make a difference.
BREAKING! The bill to protect the Mahomet Aquifer from carbon sequestration was passed by the Illinois House on May 20. Governor Pritzker is expected to sign it within the next 60 days.
Say NO to federal takeover of CO2 pipelines! This would give routing and eminent domain to the federal government and tax shelters to corporations!
Please slip in support of SB1723, a bill that will protect the Mahomet Aquifer from pollution caused by CO2 injection and storage. Help get it across the finish line!
Geologic carbon dioxide storage remains experimental. Allowing private interests to risk the safety of public resources cannot be justified.
Ask your Illinois State Representative to cosponsor and vote yes for SB1723. This bill will protect the Mahomet Aquifer from CO2 pollution.
