Short Description of Activity

Unbeknownst to many in Oregon, Idaho, Washington and California GNT is pushing for expansion of their pipeline that goes through all of these states.

Reflection/Evaluation

This is getting a lot of protests, letters and noise from all over the PNW. GTN is pressing to expand an old pipeline built in 1960’s to deplorable levels, which is unsafe and unhealthy to the public and to the environment. There is a history of leakage, cracks and harm to the environment with this company. 3.47 millions tons of GHG emmission would happen daily.
I wrote a letter to FERC to oppose this expansion. They should be making a decision in the coming months. All attorney generals from all states impacted have opposed this project but GTN seems to think that doesn’t matter. Another Jordan Cove situation.
