Proposed oil train terminals in Vancouver, Washington and LNG terminals along the Oregon coast

THIS PROGRAM WAS ORIGINALLY BROADCAST ON JULY 20, 2015

 

This week the Portland City Council continues its deliberations on developing a strong policy to stop new fossil fuel transport infrastructure in Portland. We are rebroadcasting this episode of LOCUS FOCUS, that originally aired last July, to provide more background on this issue.


As pressure keeps building to turn the Pacific Northwest into a major petrochemical export hub, resistance to these projects grows as well. On this episode of Locus Focus, we talk again with Dan Serres of Columbia Riverkeeper about the current status of proposed oil train terminals in Vancouver, Washington and LNG terminals along the Oregon Coast. He'll give us an update as well on efforts across the region to stop these facilities from becoming the new reality for the Northwest.

Dan Serres is the Conservation Director for Columbia Riverkeeper. Dan is an expert on the impact of energy projects on water quality and communities, including LNG, coal export terminals, and power plants.
