Northern Star's decision to jump ship is good news for Oregon. The three proposed competing LNG terminals and associated pipelines are not needed and will only prolong the move to renewable energy sources. FERC's siting and permitting process has been deeply flawed and frustrating for those of us involved in fighting the short-sighted vision of the developers.
