Greenpeace uploaded this photo of lobbyists hanging from bridge
The Coast Guard shut a part of the Houston Ship Channel, from Light 102A to Light 104, today, as a result of a feat by Greenpeace United States lobbyists near Baytown, Texas.
At 6:30 a.m., Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders got alert that around 11 people were put on hold from the Fred Hartman Bridge.
As of 7:30 a.m., the vessel line up was one vessel incoming and also 2 vessels outgoing.
Greenpeace United States claimed that twenty-two Greenpeace United States lobbyists had “shut down the largest fossil fuel thoroughfare in the United States ahead of the third Democratic primary debate in nearby Houston.”
It claimed the team planned to continue to be protected in position for 24-hour, stopping the transportation of all oil and also gas via the network. It called their activity “a bold call to leaders to imagine a world beyond fossil fuels and embrace a just transition to renewable energy.”
Drivers trying to go across the bridge most likely called their activity another thing, as car along with ship website traffic was stopped.
“We are working with local and federal partners to monitor the Fred Hartman Bridge protest, which is expected to last until Friday morning. Multiple northbound lanes remain closed. Seek alternate routes,” the Harris County Sheriff’s Office tweeted mid-morning.
