Uinta Basin Railway lawsuit proceeds
Ok Energy Today covered our case to stop the Uinta Basin Railway, which has been taken to the U.S. Supreme Court. “Plans to construct a new oil railroad in the Uinta Basin could quintuple oil production and worsen air quality. The Uinta Basin railway, which was blocked by a federal court in 2023, is still under consideration as the U.S. Supreme Court weighs approval.”
“Clean air in the Uinta Basin continues to be undermined by unchecked fossil fuel extraction, putting people and communities at risk. Ozone pollution can have broad adverse health effects, including destroying lung tissue, and even causing failed pregnancies and still births,” said Jonny Vasic, executive director of UPHE “We won’t sit back and let the oil and gas industry and its cronies in Utah state government fight to put polluters ahead of our health.”
