Retreat Participants Examine Emissions in Permian Basin

Staff, board members and volunteers from New Mexico El Paso Region Interfaith Power & Light traveled to Hobbs and other parts of the Permian Basin in New Mexico earlier this month to examine conditions in the communities where oil and gas facilities are located.  As the participants in this retreat noted, a significant problem for residents of these frontline communities is exposure to dangerous emissions released by these facilities.
