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

A comprehensive report from the Bullard Center for Environmental and Climate Justice at Texas Southern University, titled "Green Light to Pollute in Texas," analyzes 89 new or expanding petrochemical facilities across five regions of the state.

The study reveals stark findings: 9 out of 10 facilities are planned in counties with higher concentrations of people of color and families in poverty. Nearly half are in neighborhoods ranked among the worst 10% nationally for toxic air releases. Furthermore, 93% sit near other high-risk chemical plants, compounding threats of explosions, leaks, and chronic disease. Residents in an accompanying documentary detail how this industrial expansion has altered their communities.
