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

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

The study reveals stark findings: 9 out of 10 facilities are planned in counties with higher concentrations of people of color and families living in poverty. Nearly half are in neighborhoods ranked among the worst 10% nationally for toxic air releases. Furthermore, 93% are near other high-risk chemical plants, significantly compounding the threat of explosions, leaks, and chronic disease.

A related documentary features residents detailing how this industrial expansion has profoundly altered the fabric of their communities.
