Herr: Texas and Oklahoma Laws Offer $10,000 Rewards for Abortion Lawsuits
“Laws passed recently in Texas and Oklahoma actually offer 10,000 dollar rewards to people who can successfully sue anyone who, quote, aids or abets an abortion.”
Herr: Medicine Cannot Distinguish Self-Managed Abortions From Miscarriages or Stillbirths
“The thing is, there's no medical way to tell the difference between a self-managed abortion or stillbirth or miscarriage.”
Herr: California lacks mandatory buffer zones between oil wells and schools
“There's no rule in California that says oil wells has to be a certain distance from a home or a school or a hospital. It's one of the only oil producing states where that's actually the case.”
Ike Dike is a $31 billion project taking 18 years to build

Herr: Post-Roe Criminalization Will Hit Polluted, Climate-Impacted Areas First
“And the criminalization of self-managed abortion and other adverse birth outcomes are going to hit places already overburdened by climate change and pollution hardest and first.”
Herr: 14% of LA public schools are within 2,500 feet of oil wells
“Actually, 14% of all of the public schools in Los Angeles are within 2500 feet of a well, and seven million Californians live within a mile of a well.”
Proposed Texas Ike Dike will be most expensive US civil engineering project
“It hasn't been built yet, but once it is, it'll be the biggest and most expensive civil engineering project in U.S. History.”
Herr: Formerly redlined US neighborhoods are up to 13 degrees hotter
“A study that came out a few years ago, it found that neighborhoods that were formerly redlined today, they're about five degrees hotter than neighborhoods that were not. And that number is almost 13 degrees in Portland and 10 degrees in Minneapolis.”
Herr: Maternal morbidity in Baytown is twice the Texas state average
“Maternal morbidity, which is basically a term that means any unexpected outcome during birth that might lead to long-term health effects on the birthing parent, well, that rate is twice as high in Baytown than it is on average across the state.”
Herr: Oil pump jacks operate right next to homes across California
“Yes, and that exists all over the state, and particularly in Los Angeles, you get these oil pump jacks just sitting right next to people's homes.”
Herr: California proposed buffer regulation protects only against new oil wells
“But even that regulation hasn't been put in place yet, and it would still only apply to new wells, not the thousands and thousands of existing wells that are making people sick.”
Congress passed Ike Dike plan in 2022 Water Resources Development Act
“That study itself took years and years, and then it ended up in a plan that finally made its way to Congress as a part of the Water Resources and Development Act of twenty-twenty-two. That piece of legislation passed both the House and the Senate this summer.”
Port of Houston generates $800 billion in annual economic value
“It's home to the Port of Houston, which is the largest container port on the Gulf. It generates about eight hundred billion in economic value every year, and it's a hub for refining imports and exports of petroleum and petroleum products, basically an energy c…”
Herr: Americans do not treat extreme heat as an emergency
“I mean, I think a lot of Americans don't really see heat as an emergency. We do tornado drills, earthquake drills, we make hurricane evacuation plans, but Most of us don't really think about preparing for extreme heat in the same way.”
Herr: Cardiff Tower in LA disguised 40 oil wells as a synagogue
“That tower that you see, it's supposed to look like a synagogue, but it's actually hiding 40 oil wells.
Yes, yes.
it's called the Cardiff Tower, and it was built in the 19 sixties, and it's one of the first oil wells that's built this way.”
