Why must we continue to destroy Oregon in the name of profit.  An examination of the motives for proceeding with LNG and for the disastrous pipeline through our precious national forest reveals no good or valid reason in support of them.  We in Oregon don't need the gas, it will not save ratepayors like myself money, and our immediate and quite long-range supplies of natural gas are secure (at least until we start a logical march towards eliminating our dependency on foreign fossil fuel altogether).  The downsides of LNG and Palomar are well-detailed and too numerous to mention for the sake of brevity.  We shouldn't even have to be facing this issue.
