For Our Health, For Our Future: Fighting Pollution and Climate Disruption in Bay Area Refineries

March 27, 2018

This illustrated 16-page primer summarizes the environmental and climate impacts of the Bay Area’s five oil refineries, four in Contra Costa and one in Solano County.  It tells the story of the struggle to stop the Bay Area from becoming a major outlet for the  extra-polluting oil from Canadian tar sands —a struggle that has been going on for almost ten years.  And it explains the role of the Bay Area Air Quality Management District—charged with controlling air pollution, but often reluctant to challenge the power of the oil industry.
