There’s Only One Kind Of “Just” Transition I Want To See
Creative Greenius
JULY 11, 2022
And It’s Not The One Which Rewards Dirty Energy Mercenaries With New Clean Energy Jobs. I took this tour 7 years ago with my old pal Nanette Barragan. The kind of justice I believe in does not give “them that’s got” an uninterrupted pipeline to keep profiting from pollution. That ain’t justice. That’s granting the workers who pocketed great salaries and benefits, while filling our air and water with toxic waste, a free pass from taking any responsibility for their actions.
