Trump Administration Shovels $75 million into Controversi...

What this episode covers

The Trump administration said it will allocate $75 million dollars to fund a new coal terminal on the waterfront in West Oakland. Developer Phil Tagami has been working on building a shipping terminal on city-owned land for more than a decade. The coal export plan has faced major community opposition and a slew of lawsuits, which have since been resolved. With the legal challenges out of the way and federal funding, the developers now plan to start construction next year. We talk about the Trump administration’s larger strategy to boost the coal industry, community opposition to the project and what a coal terminal means for the environment and climate change. Guests: Darwin BondGraham, news editor, Oaklandside Maxine Joselow, climate reporter, The New York Times Jill Tauber, vice president of litigation for climate and energy, Earthjustice Learn more about your ad choices.
