The new plant, expected to be finished next year, would be the first of its kind in the United States and an answer to President JoeHuntsman said he wonders if this facility would be one that Bloomberg would decide to fight. Even as the chemical industry contributes to the energy transition, it has drawn the ire of neighbors and activists who point to explosions andbetween East Texas and New Orleans — an area known as “cancer alley.” Robert Bullard, a distinguished professor at Texas Southern University known as the father of environmental justice, has signed on as a partner in Bloomberg’s campaign.
