Liziko elinguZero eliphantsi lesenzo esingenabuNdlobongela, nge-28 ka-Epreli, ngo-2023
NgoMhla woMhlaba we-2023, abaphembeleli boxolo kunye nabaphembeleli bendalo badibana kwisikhululo segesi esikhulu sasePentagon ukuze banikele ubungqina kwimpambano yokutshisa izixa ezikhulu zamafutha efosili egameni loKhuseleko lweSizwe ngelixa umhlaba uvutha ngenxa yokufudumala kwehlabathi / utshintsho lwemozulu. .
Iququzelelwe liZiko le-Ground Zero le-Nonviolent Action, abaphembeleli bahlanganisana nge-22 ka-Eprelind at I-Manchester Fuel Depot, eyaziwa ngokusesikweni njengeSebe le-Manchester Fuel (MFD), ukuqhankqalaza ukusetyenziswa kwe-hydrocarbon yi-US Navy kunye neSebe lezoKhuselo. Indawo yokugcina izinto yaseManchester ikufuphi nePort Orchard eWashington State.
Indawo yokugcina iManchester yeyona ndawo inkulu yokubonelela ngamafutha kumkhosi wase-US, kwaye ikufuphi neempazamo ezinkulu zenyikima. Ukuchitheka kwazo naziphi na ezi mveliso ze-oyile kuya kuba nefuthe kwi-ecology yoLwandle lwaseSalish, olona lwandle lukhulu kunye nobutyebi bebhayoloji emhlabeni. Igama layo lihlonipha abemi bokuqala bommandla, abantu baseCoast Salish.
Amalungu e-Ground Zero Centre for Nonviolent Action, 350 West Sound Climate Action, kunye ne-Kitsap Unitarian Universalist Fellowship bahlanganisene eManchester State Park ngoMgqibelo ngo-Aprili 22, kwaye benza indlela yabo kwisango le-Fuel Depot kwi-Beach Drive kufuphi ne-Manchester, eWashington. Apho babonisa iibhanile kunye nemiqondiso ebiza urhulumente wase-US ukuba: 1) akhusele iitanki ekuvuzeni kunye nosoyikiso lweenyikima; 2) ukunciphisa i-carbon footprint yesebe lezoKhuselo; 3) ukutshintsha imigaqo-nkqubo yomkhosi waseMelika kunye nozakuzo ukuba ithembele kancinci kwizixhobo kunye namafutha efosili asetyenziswa kwandisa imeko yemozulu.
Abaqhankqalazi bamkelwe esangweni ngoonogada noonogada, babamkela (ngendlela engaqhelekanga) ngamanzi asebhotileni, neengxelo zokuba bakhusela amalungelo abaqhankqalazi kwaye bayayihlonipha [amatsha ntliziyo] inkululeko yokuthetha.
Emva komlindelo omfutshane iqela emva koko laqhuba laya kwizibuko laseManchester apho liye latyhila ibhanile elalisithi, “UMHLABA NGUMAMA WETHU – MPHATHELE NGENHLONIPHO”, phambi kweenqanawa kwindawo yokugalela amafutha kwindawo yeFuel Depot.
The Isebe leFuel laseManchester (MFD) sesona sikhululo sikhulu sendawo yepetroli yeSebe lezoKhuselo eMelika. Indawo yokugcina ibonelela ngamafutha odidi lomkhosi, izithambiso kunye nezongezelelo kwinqanawa yoMkhosi woMkhosi wase-US kunye nooGcini loNxweme, nakwezo zisuka kumazwe amanyeneyo afana neCanada. Iirekhodi ezifumaneka kwi-2017 zibonisa ngaphezulu I-75 yezigidi zeelitha zamafutha igcinwe kwiMFD.
Umkhosi wase-US unalo malunga Izixhobo zezempi zase 750 kwihlabathi jikelele kwaye ikhupha ikhabhoni eninzi emoyeni ngaphezu kwezizwe ezingama-140.
Ukuba umkhosi wase-US ibililizwe, ukusetyenziswa kwayo kwepetroli kuphela kuya kuyenza I-47 ye-emitter enkulu kakhulu yegesi eluhlaza emhlabeni, ehleli phakathi kwePeru nePortugal.
Iingxwabangxwaba ezibangelwa okanye ezenziwa mandundu kukutshintsha kwemozulu zinegalelo ekungakhuselekini kwehlabathi, nto leyo eyandisa amathuba okusetyenziswa kwezixhobo zenyukliya. Iziphumo zokutshintsha kwemozulu zinokondla amabhongo phakathi kwamanye amazwe okufumana izixhobo zenyukliya okanye iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zezixhobo zenyukliya ezisebenzisekayo okanye ezinobuchule.
Ngelixa utshintsho lwemozulu kunye nosongelo lwemfazwe yenyukliya zizisongelo ezibini kwikamva loluntu kunye nobomi kwiplanethi yethu, izisombululo zabo ziyafana. Intsebenziswano yamazwe ngamazwe ekucombululeni enye yeengxaki—enoba kukuphelisa okanye ukunciphisa ngokuqinileyo izixhobo zenyukliya okanye ukunciphisa ukukhutshwa kweegesi ze<em>greenhouse—kuya kunceda kakhulu kwisicombululo sesinye.
The ISivumelwano kwiSithintelo seSixhobo seNyukliya (TPNW) yaqala ukusebenza ngoJanuwari 2021. Ngelixa izithintelo zomnqophiso zibophelela ngokusemthethweni kuphela kumazwe (ama-60 ukuza kuthi ga ngoku) athi abe “ngaMaqela aMazwe” kwisivumelwano, ezo zithintelo zingaphaya kwemisebenzi yoorhulumente kuphela. Inqaku loku-1(e) lesi sivumelwano lithintela amaQela aMazwe ekuncedeni “nabani na” obandakanyeka kuyo nayiphi na kwezo zinto zingavumelekanga, kuquka iinkampani zabucala kunye nabantu abanokubandakanyeka kushishino lwezixhobo zenyukliya.
Ilungu leGround Zero uLeonard Eiger uthe “Asinakukwazi ngokupheleleyo ukulungisa ingxaki yemozulu ngaphandle kokulungisa isoyikiso senyukliya. UMongameli uBiden kufuneka asayine i-TPNW ukwenzela ukuba siqalise ngokukhawuleza ukuguqula inani elikhulu lemali efunekayo, i-capital capital yabantu kunye neziseko zophuhliso kude namalungiselelo emfazwe yenyukliya ukujongana nokutshintsha kwemozulu. Ukusayina i-TPNW kuya kuthumela umyalezo ocacileyo kwamanye amandla enyukliya, kwaye ekugqibeleni kuphuculwe intsebenziswano kunye neRashiya neChina. Izizukulwana ezizayo zixhomekeke kuthi ekwenzeni ukhetho olufanelekileyo!
Ukusondela kwethu kwi Elona nani likhulu lezixhobo zenyukliya ezisetyenzisiweyo e-US. eBangor, nakwi "Esona sikhululo segesi sePentagon" eManchester, ifuna ukucinga nzulu kunye nokusabela kwizisongelo zemfazwe yenyukliya kunye nokutshintsha kwemozulu.
Impendulo yoMthetho weNkululeko yoLwazi ka-2020 evela kuMkhosi waManzi ukuya kwilungu le-Ground Zero uGlen Milner ubonise ukuba uninzi lwamafutha asuka kwindawo yokugcina iManchester athunyelwa kwiziseko zomkhosi zasekhaya, mhlawumbi ngeenjongo zoqeqesho okanye kwimisebenzi yasemkhosini. Uninzi lwamafutha luthunyelwa kwiSikhululo soMoya weNaval iWhidbey Island. 'Yabona https://1drv.ms/
I-F/A-18F enye, efana neejethi zeBlue Angels ezibhabha ihlobo ngalinye phezu kweSeattle, zitya malunga Iilitha ezili-1,100 zamafutha ejethi ngeyure.
IPentagon, ngo-2022, yabhengeza ukuvalwa okucwangcisiweyo kwe indawo yokugcina amafutha kufutshane nePearl Harbor eHawaii eyakhiwa ngexesha elinye nedepo yaseManchester. Isigqibo sikaNobhala wezoKhuseleko uLloyd Austin sasisekwe kuvavanyo olutsha lwePentagon, kodwa kwakhona sasihambelana nomyalelo weSebe lezeMpilo laseHawaii wokukhupha amafutha eetankini. I-Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility.
Iitanki zazivuza kwiqula lamanzi okusela kwaye amanzi angcolileyo kumakhaya asePearl Harbor kunye neeofisi. Phantse abantu abangama-6,000, uninzi lwabo bahlala kwizindlu zomkhosi eJoint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam bagula, befuna unyango lwesicaphucaphu, intloko ebuhlungu, irhashalala kunye nezinye izigulo. Kwaye iintsapho zomkhosi ezingama-4,000 zanyanzeleka ukuba zishiye amakhaya azo kwaye zikwiihotele.
Idepo yaseManchester ihleli malunga neekhilomitha ezimbini kunxweme loLwandle lwaseSalish, ukugcina iimveliso zepetroleum kwiitanki ze-petroleum ezingama-44 (iiTanki zoGcino ezingaphantsi komhlaba ezingama-33 kunye neeTanki zokuGcina ezili-11 eziNgaphezu komhlaba) kwiihektare ezingama-234. Uninzi lwamatanki aye yakhiwa ngeminyaka yee-1940. Indawo yokugcina amafutha (ifama yetanki kunye nendawo yokulayisha) ingaphantsi kweemayile ezintandathu entshona yeAlki Beach eSeattle.
Umbono ohlekisayo wembali: Ipaki yaseManchester State yaphuhliswa njengendawo yokhuselo elunxwemeni kwinkulungwane eyadlulayo ukukhusela isiseko somkhosi waselwandle waseBremerton kuhlaselo lolwandle. Ipropathi yatshintshelwa kwilizwe laseWashington kwaye ngoku iyindawo yoluntu enobuhle bendalo obumangalisayo kunye namathuba okuzonwabisa. Ngomgaqo-nkqubo ofanelekileyo wamazwe angaphandle kunye nezinto eziphambili zenkcitho. Kuyinxalenye yombono wamatshantliziyo anethemba ngekamva lokuba iziza zomkhosi ezifana nezi zinokuguqulelwa kwiindawo eziqinisekisa ubomi kunokuba zibugrogrise.
Iziko le-Ground Zero for Nonviolent Action isiganeko esilandelayo siya kuba ngoMgqibelo, Meyi 13, 2023, sihlonipha injongo yokuqala yoSuku looMama loXolo.
