Green Light to Pollute In Texas Again: Freeport, Tx
December 03, 2025

"Green Light to Pollute in Texas," a report by the Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice at Texas Southern University, reveals that proposed petrochemical facilities disproportionately target vulnerable communities. The study analyzed 89 new or expanding plants across five regions.

Findings are stark: most facilities are planned in counties with higher concentrations of people of color and poverty, often among the worst 10% nationally for toxic air releases. These sites also sit near existing high-risk chemical plants, compounding threats of explosions, leaks, and chronic disease.

A documentary further details how residents' communities have been transformed by this industrial expansion.
