Fossil Fuel Plants Belched Toxic Pollution as Hurricane Beryl Hit Gulf Coast

Hurricane Beryl, a Category 1 storm, caused multiple fossil fuel plants on the Gulf Coast to release toxic pollutants due to power outages that led to flaring. Facilities like Freeport LNG and Formosa Plastics Corporation reported flaring, emitting hazardous substances including benzene into the atmosphere. Environmental and medical experts are urging the Biden administration to halt new fossil fuel infrastructure in hurricane-prone areas, highlighting public health risks. The letter to President Biden emphasized the life cycle of methane gas, stressing the disproportionate impact on low-income and minority communities. Activists call for better regulation and the cessation of new LNG terminal construction.
