They are not hiding the "Over Reach"

[Hobo Hilton]

Raising concerns about "environmental justice," five Democratic attorneys general for New York, the District of Columbia and three other states in the Northeast said they want the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a more thorough review before permitting a $9.4 billion Formosa Plastics complex in St. James Parish (Louisiana)

In a joint letter, the attorney generals argued the Corps' decision potentially affects their states and Washington, D.C., because of the complex's potential impact on migratory waterfowl, air quality, sea level rise and low-income, minority residents.

"By meaningfully analyzing and mitigating these impacts, the Corps will complement and enhance our States’ environmental justice initiatives and set a strong national precedent for protecting overburdened communities across the nation and in our jurisdictions," the joint letter says.


The attorneys general want the Corps to do a full "environmental impact statement," which would involve much more research and could further delay project completion. The Corps had previously done a less rigorous environmental assessment.

Attorney General's have now jumped on the Over Reach band wagon. Appears they have a lot to clean up within their jurisdiction before reaching out.
The downfall continues.

I really don't understand the reasoning with this new environmental justice bullshit.

Seems to me it's a chicken and the egg situation...are there heavy industries building whatever widget factory in low income neighborhoods, or is it that the previous existence of heavy industry does not make an area desireable therefore property values are lower and therefore they are the areas lower income people are able to afford to live in?

Just moving heavy industry to expensive cost of living suburbs will only serve to demolish property values there, higher income will leave, lower income people can now afford to live there, and the cycle continues.

I don't really even understand what they are trying to convince people they intend to accomplish on the face...I do understand that "environmental justice" has nothing to do with it and they are really just pandering.

Formosa uses crude products from other petrochemical plants in that area to produce a finished product. That finished product is also produced in China. A delay or cancellation of this plant will result in more products being imported. Connect the dots.

Reference:
Formosa Plastics Corporation (Chinese: 台灣塑膠公司; lit. 'Taiwan Plastics Company') is a Taiwanese plastics company based in Taiwan (formerly called "Formosa") that primarily produces polyvinyl chloride (PVC) resins and other intermediate plastic products. It is the corporation around which influential businessman Wang Yung-ching formed the Formosa Plastics Group, and it remains central to the Group's petrochemical operations. The president of Formosa Plastics Corp. (FPC) is Jason Lin (林健男).

In 2019, Chemical & Engineering News ranked Formosa Plastics as the world's sixth largest chemical company by sales in 2018, with US$36.9 billion.[1] That same year, Forbes ranked the company as No. 758 on its Global 2000 list of the world's largest public companies.[2] Formosa has received substantial criticism over widespread pollution and reprisal tactics against environmental activists.[3][4]

Are you agreeing with Xi and John Cena that Taiwan is not really a country, just part of China?

Yes Money-$$$ and Politics .... LOL . Past Couple years Plastics is Gold.
My guess ? .. just from my observations from just buying PVC and Poly this last couple years . I driving down to the wholesale warehouse to pickup my usual stack of 4x8 sheets of PVC and Poly's . Only to find a Huge warehouse with Nothing but stacked wall to wall with clear Acrylics .

Possibly this linked to Plastics and Petro.Chem of LA. and TX. ? . And the possible political StrongArm being put on the newcomer 'Formosa Plastics' . To hold them off, and keep them out and making a move to the newfound COVID Gravy Train of Acrylics/plastics .
Our Federal and State GOV. forced the entire United States of America to a complete Plastics Facelift of all it's commercial business . Petro.Chem. industry of LA. and TX. is strong in the plastics industry . There been a HUGE COVID $$$-Gravy Train for Plastics, especially Acrylics Since the beginning of the Fed.Gov. Covid bullshit .
Last couple years, nationwide ALL public Retail/Wholesale businesses have been forced by our Government to consuming Billions-$$$ worth of Acrylics/Plastics to remodel of public and employee barriers, shields ..etc
.
