A new book uncovers terrifying environmental misdeeds by a refinery located within the city limits of Regina, Canada, just one mile from the co-host of this podcast. Governments thankful for the positive economic impacts turned their backs on the health of their citizens. The USA’s largest public power utility has announced plans to retire what was once the nation's biggest coal power plant. If you order Uber Eats in Phoenix, Arizona it may be delivered by an autonomous vehicle. The CEO of the automotive group Stellantis says EVs can’t be environmental until batteries weigh half as much. He’s dead wrong and we’ll outline why. Plus UFOs over the podcast headquarters? A listener asks if we saw anything.

Book: "Unjust Transition. The Future for Fossil Fuel Workers" Published by Fernwood Publishing

Investigative journalist Patricia Elliot pens the chapter on the environmental problems with the Federated Cooperative Refinery Complex in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. The facts are horrific and everyone in the city is subjected to neurotoxins and VOCs. Government turns a blind eye in favour of the economic benefits. Very few safeguards are in place. The complex's environmental record is abysmal. At least the parts that we know about. Some important information is kept from the public.

Living near refineries like the CRC poses significant health risks due to exposure to over fifty recognized harmful substances, including toxic gases and heavy metals.
