Show Notes
Environmental groups, including Earthjustice, Sierra Club, and Colorado GreenLatinos, are challenging the Suncor refinery in Colorados air pollution violations in federal court. They aim to revive a dismissed 2024 lawsuit, arguing that the Clean Air Act allows citizens to intervene when regulators fail. The groups claim the refinery exceeds safe limits for chemicals like benzene and sulfur dioxide, disproportionately affecting nearby low-income communities. Despite millions in fines, the groups argue these penalties are insufficient deterrents. The case is now before the tenth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which will decide whether to uphold the dismissal or proceed with a full hearing.
