The construction and operation of fossil fuel infrastructure is causing expensive physical and economic damages to land, air, water and frontline communities on an almost daily basis. But if, for example, a major earthquake destroys the tank farms comprising Portland’s Critical Energy Infrastructure hub along the Willamette River, right now it would be tax payers who footed the bill, not the industries that have caused so much damage.

On this episode of Locus Focus we talk with John Talberth, with the Center for Sustainable Economy, about a solution that would shift the public cost burden of both fossil fuel infrastructure and climate change back to where it belongs – on the polluters.
