Took on some of the biggest corporate polluters in our state when I was in the city of Detroit. Took on Marathon Petroleum, the biggest polluter and the most polluted zip code in the state. Forced [Marathon Petroleum] to invest their own money to reduce emissions when they had wanted to increase them. The truth of the matter is that these wildfires are happening more often because it's drier and hotter than it has been in the past. (51:54–51:58)

CLAIM

Asserts that Marathon Petroleum was compelled to reduce emissions instead of increasing them.
