WASHINGTON, D.C. Jill Hunkler of Barnesville testified before the U.S. House Subcommittee on the Environment on Thursday Earth Day 2021 opposing government subsidies to the natural gas and oil industry.
Her appearance was virtual, using an online platform rather than an in-person visit to Washington. Also speaking were representatives of Harvard University and Stockholm Environmental Institute’s Climate Policy Program, along with Swedish youth activist Greta Thunberg, who is known around the world for her efforts.
Hunkler has long opposed the fossil fuel industry and hydraulic fracturing, or “fracking” a process that uses high-pressure water, sand and chemicals to fracture the bedrock and release gases trapped within it. On Thursday, she described her experience of living in Appalachia.
