Climate Justice Forum: Allie Rosenbluth on Environmental Laws Rollback Bill & Opposition, Alberta Tar Sands Pollution, Nevada Lithium & Canada Pipeline Protesters, North Dakota Derailments 10-21-26
The Wednesday, October 21, 2026, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features Allie Rosenbluth with Oil Change International talking about the deceptive Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act currently rushed through Congress, which would weaken bedrock, environmental laws protecting waterways, endangered species, historic sites, tribal consultation, and public review through required, government, environmental impact reports on proposed infrastructure, and would speed permitting of clean and dirty energy projects. We also share news, videos, and reflections on opportunities to oppose and stop this latest legislative deal for industry, tar sands mining and tailings pond pollution of the Athabasca and Mackenzie rivers and First Nations in Canada, a settlement ending the lawsuit brought by Lithium Nevada against six indigenous and allied Thacker Pass mining protesters, a request for support of a Native land defender from the Trans Mountain tar sands pipeline, whose home sustained a retaliatory attack, and an observed, 2026 derailment and Amtrak delay in North Dakota, 25 years after a nearby, Canadian Pacific train wreck that released fertilizer ammonia, killed one resident, and injured hundreds more. Broadcast for fourteen years on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow, every Wednesday between 1:30 and 3 pm Pacific time, on-air at 90.3 FM and online at KRFP and the Pacifica Network AudioPort, the show describes continent-wide, grassroots, frontline resistance to fossil fuels projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.

Climate Justice Forum: Five Proposed Northwest Oil & Gas Pipelines, Dakota Pipestone & Pipeline Concerns, Alberta Tar Sands Tailings Release Scheme, Settled Lithium Nevada Protesters SLAPP Suit 10-14-26
The Wednesday, October 14, 2026, Climate Justice Forum radio program, produced by regional, climate activists collective Wild Idaho Rising Tide (WIRT), features information and opportunities to oppose five Northwest, proposed, fossil fuels pipelines, including the new Bridger tar sands pipeline across eastern Montana, the Pacific Link tar sands pipeline and Salish Sea export terminal supertankers in British Columbia, and three Williams methane gas pipelines: the new Silver Spur from Nevada toward the planned Idaho Power South Hills and Peregrine gas-fired power plants, the Rockies Columbia Connector expansion through the Washington Columbia River Gorge, and the new Valley Trail from the Gorge toward central Washington data centers. We also share news, videos, and reflections on Dakota Nation concerns about sacred pipestone quarries and the Magellan OneOak pipeline and its Minnesota hearing, Alberta Energy Regulator exemption from environmental review of Suncor Energy’s scheme to treat and release tar sands tailings wastewater into the Athabasca River, upstream of three indigenous nations, and an agreement without financial or site access penalties, which ends the lawsuit brought by the Lithium Nevada mining company against six Native and accomplice defenders of Thacker Pass. Broadcast for fourteen years on progressive, volunteer, community station KRFP Radio Free Moscow, every Wednesday between 1:30 and 3 pm Pacific time, on-air at 90.3 FM and online at KRFP and the Pacifica Network AudioPort, the show describes continent-wide, grassroots, frontline resistance to fossil fuels projects, the root causes of climate change, thanks to generous, anonymous listeners who adopted program host Helen Yost as their KRFP DJ.
