As Texas embraces carbon storage, a Black community questions the risks

Texas has started to allow companies to store carbon dioxide underground, but residents in a Black community in East Texas are concerned about potential safety risks and skeptical about the actual climate benefits. These fears highlight a broader debate about the environmental justice implications of climate change initiatives. As the state moves forward with this controversial technology, it’s crucial to consider the voices and concerns of local communities, especially those historically marginalized, to ensure equitable and safe progress in tackling climate change.
