This isn’t an isolated incident. In the heart of California’s farmland, illegal permitting resulted in contamination of freshwater aquifers with harmful chemicals like arsenic, uranium, boron, and dangerously high levels of salt. The salt water is now destroying crops.

As a clean energy leader, R. Rex Parris has taken up this cause and is focused on holding those responsible accountable. As Mayor of Lancaster, California, R. Rex Parris has made it his mission to transform Lancaster into the first “net zero” city in the world. He has spearheaded the nation’s only operating solar thermal power tower plant. He also created a unique partnership between manufacturing giant Build Your Dreams (BYD) and KB Homes to build an affordable solar energy housing community. He regularly speaks to leaders around the world about implementing effective and affordable clean energy projects.

Looking to build a strong coalition to take on the gas companies and the State of California, R. Rex Parris recruited veteran attorney Patricia K. Oliver and her son Aaron. They spent the last four years serving Los Angeles and the last two working to raise awareness of the State’s blatant disregard for water safety. These illegal practices not only affect today’s generations, it also affects our children’s future.
