Anti-LNG Banner (Portland, OR, Mar. 1 2008)

From Cascadia Rising Tide:

“After a five-year long grassroots organizing push by a broad coalition of Oregonians and Southern Washingtonians, NorthernStar, the Texas-based company proposing the Bradwood LNG terminal on Columbia River, has indefinitely suspended development of the LNG terminal and filed for bankruptcy. This is wonderful news for anyone in the region concerned with climate change, protecting forests, and preserving rural farmland. It’s great news for local communities threatened with eminent domain and a huge victory for the people vs. Big Energy. Thank you for any part you played in achieving this victory.

“But it’s not over yet. There are still two LNG terminals proposed in
Oregon (On the Columbia River and in Coos Bay) as well as hundreds of miles of pipelines. Now, the No LNG coalition is turning its attention toward pressuring NW Natural to completely cancel the Palomar pipeline, which still threatens to clearcut through 47-miles of Mt. Hood National Forest, and brings heavy construction to 300 rivers and streams and 1500 landowners.”
