Hello All:On Monday, August 18th, Marc Auerbach and I will be interviewed during the first hour of the Desmo-zone show on KAST (1370AM).
The show begins at 4pm and we expect that Michael Desmond (the host) will open the lines for callers to phone in and ask questions.
The focus of the show will be the Pipeline Referendum, but we expect the topic to stray to some general LNG issues.
We need you to call in to support a NO VOTE on the Pipeline Referendum and to ask some good questions about the Referendum and LNG.
Please tune in to 1370 AM at 4pm on Monday and plan to call-in to ask us some good VOTE NO questions on air!
The number to call is: (503) 325-2911
We look forward to fielding your questions!-Olivia Schmit - Columbia River Clean Energy Coalition.

Maybe There Really Is Affordable Housing Out There
USDA seems to have some very good opportunities available for those, of many income levels, who wish to own their own homes .
Heard a commercial this morning on KAST-AM about a development by Steve Oldstedt(sp) over in Warranton, presumably offering these opportunites.
Check it out and let us know if you attend their Open Houses @ 11:00am this Saturday at Warrenton Shilo Inns.

CAPTION: Conditionally Allows Pipelines in "Open Space, Parks and Recreation" Zone
QUESTION Should County Zoning Ordinance Be Changed to Conditionally Allow Cable and Pipelines in Open Spaces, Parks and Recreational Areas?
SUMMARY Clatsop County recently amended its zontng law(March 20, 2008) to conditionally allow the placement of cables and pipelines in areas designated "Open Space, Parks and Recreation" for purposes such as natural gas transport from a liquid natural gas facility, water and sewer, as well as other possible applications.
SECTION 5. Provisions of the Land Development and Water Use Ordinance are amended to list(Allow) "cable, sewerline, waterline or other pipeline" as a conditional use in the OPR zone as described in SECTION 6.
SECTION 6. Land Development and Water Use Ordinance & 3.586(10) is amended to state "10. cable, sewerline, waterline or other pipeline" and the current Land Development and Water Use Ordinance & 3.586(10) is made LDWUO & 3.586(11)
This vote would affect sections 5 and 6 of Clatsop County Ordinance 08-05(See above).
A "YES" vote would change county zoning law and would allow cables and pipelines as conditional uses in areas designated "Open Space, Parks and Recreation" zones.
A "NO" vote would maintain existing county zoning law prohibiting cables and pipelines as conditional uses in areas designated "Open Space, Parks and Recreation" zones.

The Overview Of What Bradwood Will Be
The Bradwood Landing LNG Project
would include the construction and
operation of an LNG import terminal
about 38 miles up the Columbia River
from its mouth, at the location of the
former lumber mill and town of
Bradwood, in Clatsop County, Oregon.
Elements of the LNG terminal include:
• A dredged maneuvering area in the
Columbia River adjacent to the existing
navigation channel maintained by the
COE;
• A single berth capable of handling
LNG carriers ranging in capacity from
100,000 to 200,000 cubic meters (m3);
• A set of four 16-inch-diameter
unloading arms on the wharf, and a
1,240-foot-long cryogenic transfer
pipeline from the wharf to the LNG
storage tanks;
• Two full-containment LNG storage
tanks, each with a capacity of 160,000
m3; and
• A set of seven submerged
combustion vaporizers to re-gasify LNG
to natural gas, with a capacity to send
out 1.3 billion cubic feet of natural gas
per day.
The EIS also addresses the potential
environmental effects of the
construction and operation of the
associated natural gas sendout pipeline
between the Bradwood Landing LNG
terminal and an interconnection with
the existing Williams Northwest
Pipeline Corporation (Williams
Northwest) interstate system near Kelso,

Washington. The pipeline facilities
would include:
• A 36.3-mile-long, underground,
high-pressure welded steel pipeline,
consisting of 18.9 miles of 36-inchdiameter
pipeline in Clatsop and
Columbia Counties, Oregon, and 17.4
miles of 30-inch-diameter pipeline in
Cowlitz County, Washington;
• Five meter stations, including one
at the LNG terminal, at the Georgia-
Pacific Wauna paper mill delivery
point, the interconnection with the
existing Northwest Natural Gas
Company intrastate system, the Portland
General Electric Company Beaver power
plant delivery point, and the Williams

Pickens Plan
From T. Boone Pickens:......."America is in a hole and it's getting deeper every day.
We import 70% of our oil at a cost of $700 billion a year - four times the annual cost of the Iraq war.
I've been an oil man all my life, but this is one emergency we can't drill our way out of. But if we create a new renewable energy network, we can break our addiction to foreign oil.
On January 20, 2009, a new President gets sworn in.
If we're organized, we can convince Congress to make major changes towards cleaner, cheaper and domestic energy resources."

Those Silly LNG Testimonials
Haven't heard such "Hokey" testimonial commercials in years and coming out of the bowels of "Energy Speculator", Bradwood Landing/Houston based,Northern Star Natural Gas?
Lady says she owns a B&B and her customers are demanding more "River Traffic" to look at while staying at her abode and that justifies her support for LNG Speculation and Development?
Local "Business Man", Steve Phillips says LNG Speculation will offer "Spin-Off" jobs, a new restaurant and stuff for young people, in essence.
The Construction Trades Union admits it already has an agreement with these "Energy Speculators", NSNG and it's a "Good Thing"? ........What would make them say that so emphatically?
"Swede Nyberg" declares LNG Speculation, with it's 10 -50, projected ends jobs is "The Cure-All" for everthing that ails us out here, "Good for the Economy, Good for the Community"?
And Helen McDaniel, a member of what she calls, a "Silent Majority" that doesn't say much but talks among themselves and have decided it is a good thing? Isn't that a "Star Chamber"?
Didn't Richard Lee use that "Silent Majority" thing when he was trying to save his ass from "Recall"?
Ands all this "Hooey" is going to assure LNG Speculation in Clatsop County and avert a successful, upcoming Referendum?
"Desperate times demand desperate measures" is in play here, it appears.
And what about all those "Spin-Off" jobs. Anybody got a list for us?
