1billion

Tons of CO2 Are At Issue

More than 1 billion tons of CO2 could be added to the atmosphere if Oakland's new commodities bulk terminal by the Bay Bridge toll plaza is dedicated to coal.

The Developer’s Promise

“It has come to my attention, that there are community concerns about a purported plan to develop a coal plant or coal distribution facility as part of the Oakland Global project. This is simply untrue…. [My company] is publicly on record as having no interest or involvement in the pursuit of coal-related operations at the former Oakland Army Base.” - Phil Tagami, December 2013

The Developer’s Betrayal

“By summer 2028, over 12 million tons of clean, beautiful coal per year will be shipped to countries all around the world.” - Donald J. Trump, June 4, 2026
