AI data center developers are increasingly pursuing "Bring Your Own Power" (BYOP) strategies, where they build their own power plants. These BYOP plants (which are usually gas) often evade regulations and harm communities. It’s time to stop this massive buildout.​

Earthjustice attorneys are representing Prutehi Guåhan, a community group fighting to protect Guam's natural and cultural resources. The group says the explosions are "sending dangerous toxins and debris hurtling into the air and the water," affecting their health and home. Learn more:

At its core, this case is about whether the U.S military can move forward with dangerous activities without the legally required environmental review.

The U.S. Air Force is detonating toxic waste near people's drinking water in Guam. The people of Guam are fighting back. The Supreme Court is deciding whether the Air Force can continue using Tarague beach to detonate hazardous munitions.

Guam is not a sacrifice zone. The people most affected by these decisions deserve to be heard and protected, not invited to comment only after the Air Force has already decided to continue blowing up bombs on Tarague Beach.

The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) exists to protect communities from exactly this kind of harm, but the Air Force ignored NEPA. At its core, NEPA requires agencies to study impacts, disclose risks, and consider public input before moving forward. ​

The U.S. military has been detonating hazardous-waste bombs and other munitions on a beach in Guam – without any environmental review. Military detonations and related activity threaten coastal environments, marine ecosystems, and places of deep cultural and community importance. ​

Can the US military detonate munitions on the beach in Guam without environmental review? That’s the question the Supreme Court is taking up today.​ Earthjustice attorneys are arguing at the Supreme Court to defend Guam’s communities and ecosystems in Air Force v. Prutehi Guåhan. ​

On Monday, the Supreme Court heard arguments for Suncor v. Boulder. The city and county of Boulder, CO is suing two oil giants for deceiving the public about their products' contribution to climate change. This is about more than climate change, it's about holding corporations accountable. ​

As Earthjustice President Abigail Dillen puts it, “New science drives social and political change.” The science connecting climate pollution to real-world impacts is only getting stronger, and the push for climate accountability is growing.

This week, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Suncor v. Boulder, a case that could determine whether communities can hold fossil fuel companies accountable for climate damages. At the heart of the fight is attribution science, which is increasingly linking fossil fuel pollution to climate harms.

Now, SCOTUS is considering whether to block a lawsuit by the city and county of Boulder, Colorado against two oil giants for their years of deceiving the public.​ The Court has no business stopping Boulder’s case from proceeding before a jury can hear it.​

Here's the tl;dr on Suncor v. Boulder, a major environmental case in the latest SCOTUS term:​ For decades, fossil fuel companies knew their products caused CO2 levels to spike, leading to global warming. Oil and gas executives knew this could lead catastrophic results.

The Community First Coal Review Act protects Californians from dusty, toxic coal pollution. Developers of enormous coal facilities—like the one proposed in West Oakland—will now have to fully disclose their projects' impacts and develop effective mitigation measures before they are granted approval.

The Home Energy Choice Act makes it easier for homeowners to electrify their homes. It'll give Californians the choice and the money to upgrade to non-polluting appliances—like heat pumps and induction stoves—instead of replacing their old gas service line.

Two victories in California! Governor Newsom just signed into law: ✅ The Home Energy Choice Act, giving homeowners the choice and support needed to electrify their homes. ✅ The Community First Coal Review Act, requiring environmental review of large coal projects.

"In other great news revealed just after 5 p.m., Newsom signed AB 2313, which will require gas utilities — namely PG&E, SDG&E and Southern California Gas — to offer financial incentives for customers to switch to electric appliances."
