Issues
The Initiative for Responsible Mining Assurance
IRMA is a multi-sector initiative that offers independent, third-party auditing and transparency at mine sites using its 400+ page standard.
Creating Other Gas Products
Learn about cracker plants, compressed natural gas plants, fractionator plants, and liquifaction plants.
“Critical and Strategic” Minerals
So-called “critical” minerals policy is simply the mining lobby’s latest gambit in a decades-long attempt to eviscerate community and environmental oversight of their industry—the nation’s largest toxic polluter.
Cyanide Use in Gold Mining
Today’s hardrock mining industry too often spills cyanide, endangering the environment, wildlife and humans.
Disclosure of Toxic Oil and Gas Chemicals
Currently the oil and gas industry is injecting millions of gallons of toxics underground, through groundwater and drinking water — and the public is largely in the dark.
Distribution Pipelines
Distribution pipelines are small lines that represent the final link in the chain of oil and gas development. They move petroleum and gas products from final transportation points along large transmission pipelines to homes, businesses, and industrial facilities.
