Prop 45 limits environmental and public review of projects like data centers, pipelines, and industrial warehouses.
Prop 45 limits environmental and public review of projects like data centers, pipelines, and industrial warehouses.
The corporate polluters behind Proposition 45 say it expedites environmental review for "certain projects." But for greedy corporations, "certain projects" means creating a massive loophole that would fast-track polluting projects like data centers, pipelines, and industrial warehouses with less oversight and less input from the public.
“This initiative means more toxic pollution in the air we breathe, the water we drink, and the land we live on. We know that leads to higher rates of asthma, greater risk of cancer, and more families living next to industrial projects that were never proven to be safe."
“At a time when our air quality is at grave risk to federal clean air rollbacks ... Proposition 45 would invite even more pollution into California neighborhoods."
“[Prop 45] shifts pollution cleanup costs and healthcare costs from developers onto taxpayers and local governments. It guarantees more risk and more cost, not less.”
