NO LNG PALOMAR PIPELINE!

March 23rd, 2008

LNG terminals and pipelines are a horrible plan for Oregon:

The latest maps of a natural gas line proposed for Oregon show a freeway-wide clear-cut slicing through 73 miles of public forest and the pressurized pipeline crossing about 50 rivers and named streams. […]

Critics say the project would degrade wildlife and fish habitat, destabilize soil, kill endangered species, spread invasive weeds, destroy patches of old-growth trees and open public forest to all-terrain vehicles.

So where is 1000 Friends on this issue? Perhaps they don’t wish to alienate NW Natural which is partly behind this crappy plan?

What’s even more annoying is that, like the LNG terminals, the State, let alone cities and counties, have very limited ability to stop this. No States Rights! It is a Federal issue, and the federal government says Yay or Nay. How is that?

The sign campaign is outstanding… but FERC could probably care less.

NO LNG at Astoria. NO LNG Pipeline!

OregonFirst.net is an anti-LNG site.
