LNG does not fit into Oregon's energy future. After being kicked out of Eureka, CA, Calpine came to Warrenton looking for a fast track to build a terminal. California and Tijuana, Mexico said no to LNG. Oregon must follow suit and not let these energy speculators in. Bradwood Landing is still proposing a 38 mile pipeline under the Columbia River through Cowlitz County, WA to hook up with the Williams pipeline. A spokeswoman for the Williams pipeline said that there is no room for the gas from Bradwood. She also said that they would not break their long term contracts to accomidate Northern Star. So where will the gas go? The Palomar pipeline, running through farmlands, vineyards, forests, and people's back ( front yards, too!) yards across Oregon is where the unodorized gas will go. The passage through Oregon to Northern California markets is really the destination of the re-gassified LNG. We the people of oregon say No to LNG!.
