Speaking Out On The Gas Pipeline

Cascadia Wildlands

If all the approvals fall into place, the Coos Bay area will be home to the Jordan Coveterminal, a natural gas liquification plant that will load liquified natural gas (LNG) onto ships for export. 

The plant would require a long (200+ miles) pipeline to deliver the gas, and that's the rub for a lot of people.

They got their chance to speak out at a series of meetings hosted by the state Department of Environmental Quality. 

Pipeline opponents from Rogue Climate and Rogue Riverkeeper join us. 

Note to the DEQ link: the actual comments page refers to a January 12th deadline, but it has been extended to March 13th.
