2022 TN Governor's race: on Energy & Oil


Jason Martin: Make sure our state is at the forefront of green technology

Tennessee is the most beautiful state in the nation, and we need to make sure that future generations can enjoy the outdoors as we have, while we protect our environment. Our timber industry and other businesses are looking for responsible environmental policies. That means focusing on conservation and growing an economy that reflects environmental stewardship. That economy is also where we can be leaders, and make sure that our state is at the forefront of green technology.

JB Smiley: Opposed pipeline threatening local aquifer, neighborhoods

In a resolution sponsored by Councilmen Dr. Jeff Warren, Edmund Ford, Sr., and JB Smiley, Jr., the Memphis City Council made their sentiments known by publicly opposing the pipeline and unanimously voting in favor of the resolution. The resolution acknowledges the threat of the pipeline to the aquifer and that its placement in a predominantly African American community further impacts neighborhoods that have been disproportionately impacted by industrial development.
