The U.S. Chemical Safety Board — the agency that investigates chemical explosions to prevent future disasters — is shut down and may soon be eliminated entirely.

Scientists who study chemical disasters say this dangerous move will save the federal government a mere $14 million.

Refinery fires, other chemical disasters may no longer get safety investigations

Because of the federal government shutdown and proposed budget, key federal investigations may stop, including into what happened at a Chevron refinery in California in October 2025.

Tout ce vendredi, Emmanuel Macron a convoqué, fait lambiner, et à peine écouté les chefs de partis… et finalement les Français puisqu’il a renommé celui dont il acceptait la démission lundi: Sébastien Lecornu! Récit.

Recornu !
