Hi All,

I am reaching out to invite you to an upcoming Info-Session & Petition Training to stop the Bay’s first proposed carbon dumping scheme. The project is a grave threat to our communities, wetlands, and way of life, and is a dangerous distraction from real climate solutions.

The Montezuma NorCal Carbon Sequestration Hub proposes to drill an injection well near the Montezuma wetlands, across Suisun Bay from Pittsburg & Antioch. Dangerously compressed carbon dioxide (CO2) from fossil fuel facilities around the Bay would be collected and transported by barge and pipeline to the injection site, ultimately expanding the lifespan of the dirty facilities and putting our communities at risk. Large enough quantities of CO2 can be fatal.

Join Communities Against Carbon Transport & Injection (CACTI) for an Info-Session & Petition Training on Wednesday, July 31 at 6pm over Zoom to learn more about the project and sign up to petition in your community! 

We need all hands on deck to get the word out and stop this dirty and dangerous project from being built in our backyards! See event details and RSVP here.

We hope to see you there!

On February 22, 2020, a pipeline carrying carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulfide exploded, causing cars to stop and some victims to lose consciousness due to lack of oxygen; 45 were hospitalized, 200 were evacuated, and three people nearly died. | DeSmog.com / Dan Zegart.

Listen on KPFA >> Terra Verde is joined by guests Dr Marjaneh Moini of PSR-SF and Kathy Kerridge of 350 Bay Area Action to discuss the public health risks and environmental concerns arising from an emerging proposal to establish a carbon capture and sequestration injection site at Montezuma Hills in Solano County to ostensibly address carbon pollution from the electricity generating facilities, hydrogen plants and refineries operating in the San Francisco Bay Delta area.

Watch on YouTube >> “Carbon Pipelines: Stories from Satartia.” On Monday, January 24, Food & Water Watch and the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club brought together Satartia residents and a first responder to the incident in a discussion moderated by Dan Zegart, the investigative journalist who broke the story nationally in 2021. Additional speakers include Representative Ro Khanna (CA-17), Food & Water Watch Senior Iowa Organizer Emma Schmit, and Jessica Mazour of the Iowa Chapter of the Sierra Club.
