west coast would accelerate more fracking in the Rocky Mountain States, yet the impacts of increased fracking to feed this export project are not found anywhere in the federal analysis. Building the first gas export terminal on the U.S. The Jordan Cove gas export project would make a Canadian gas company filthy rich by bloating the dangerous fracking frenzy at the expense of average Americans.
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is currently accepting public comments on the proposal and now is your chance to speak up against more fossil fuel infrastructure. One such project is the Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) proposal that would construct a 230-mile pipeline to transport fracked gas from the Rocky Mountain states to export from the Oregon coast at Coos Bay. Yet, those who stand to profit more from fossil fuel extraction are furiously trying to dig out as much as they can before climate impacts can no longer be denied and the tides are turned toward renewable energy sources. This means we must keep roughly 2/3rds of proven reserves of fossil fuels in the ground. The worlds preeminent scientific body on climate change has stated that we have already taken up a huge amount of our global budget for greenhouse gas emissions and we have very little room left if we want to avoid catastrophic climate change.
Stopping coal and gas export proposals are crucial to the fight for against climate change. She and thousands of others are working to stop a proposed gas export terminal and pipeline that threaten Oregon’s Coos Bay.
