Of all the energy issues circulating through the Oregon Legislature, none is more acrimonious than proposals to build new terminals and pipelines to import liquefied natural gas.

Portland Rising Tide To Mobilize Against LNG At Northwest Natural Gas Shareholders Meeting At Portland Convention Center
Portland Rising Tide to call out NW Natural for their nasty plan to import more foreign fossil fuels.
We are calling for a mass 'Bike-Icane'(think bike-hurricane) to descend upon the Annual NW Natural Shareholders Meeting & give them a taste of climate change justice.
WHERE: Meet up at Holladay Park ( NE 11th and Holladay) with your bike! Get yer No LNG spoke card!
WHEN: Thursday May 28th @ 12:30pm sharpWHAT: Form a bike contingent to join the anti-LNG rally and participate insome fun civil disobedience!
People from across the state are converging on the Oregon ConventionCenter this Thursday to call out NW natural during their annualshareholder's meeting.
NW Natural's proposed LNG (liquefied naturalgas) pipeline will cross hundreds of rivers and streams, result inthousands of acres of clear cuts through public lands, push farmers andland owners off of their property using imminent domain, and ravage thenatural beauty of our home.
These pipelines would carry twice theamount of natural gas that all of Oregon uses and connect to a pipelinethat goes directly to California. In addition NW Natural will be able to hand the costs onto customers resulting in higher gas bills for all of us!
To add insult to injury they, NWNG, are claiming that LNG is the new "GreenBridge Fuel" to a renewable future.
This couldn't be farther from the truth!
In fact the entire process of extracting, transporting, and processing Natural Gas nearly equals the carbon emissions of coal!
We don't need more fossil fuel infrastructure. What we need is realsolutions to climate change now!
Bikers both short and tall, come one come all!! Show your pedal-powered support for REAL solutions to climate change!BRING YOUR BIKE & GET A FREE SPOKE CARD!

And It's Brad Witt Who Represents Us, Or Is It Northern Star Natural Gas And Its Ilk?

Daily Astorian Article comment by: Patrick McGee
Hmmmmm!
Let's see now, the cause of LNG Speculators prospered by an elected State Representative and one time Union Man serving on a committee determining the future of the labor force on the Columbia defending what appears to smell like a duck, walklike a duck and quack like a duck no matter how he tries to shove it down your throat as an innocent little legislative attempt to take your private land by government for the benefit of a private corporation?
That, no matter how you look at it, steps the hell all over our constitutional 5th ammendment in my view.
You might want to talk to a Mr. Roger Thompson whose family owned for 130 years and still does, a parcel of land adjacent to the, at the time, proposed Port Westward LNG Terminal in Clatskanie.His family's offer by the LNG Speculators, aided by The Port of Saint Helens was three choices, "Sell it to us, lease it to us, or lose it to us" and I know this because I was in regular contact with him at the time and he and his family were, regarldless of the finacial aspects of it, were fully prepared to fight for their precious piece of land.
Fortunately for that family, fate intervened and the project failed but, what about all the others with land in the way of these LNG Specutlators and their ultrta-costly proposed schemes?
Can these people, abetted by our elected officials, truly prove the need for LNG? I don't think they can but, what I do see at this moment is what appears to be a concerted effort by all involved, Witt included, on the Pro side of the LNG issue to exploit this tragic economic state we are all in, and presumably temporary in the overall, to their benefit as a catalyst to lock this scheme, with its limited end jobs and devastating upheaval of our infrastructure to a 50, 60 year unwanted marriage to a wicked mistress of speculated huge profit for all its supporters.
Simple fact of the matter is that Palomar, the proposed pipeline contractor in collusiuon with Northwest Natural Gas for Bradwood, Oregon LNG and Coos Bay's project, says we don't need LNG at all, we only need one link-up with a pipeline out of the Rockies, using existing rights of way in the majority, tying into The TransCanada and Williams Pipeline, to serve the west coast's NG market for years to come and SunstonePipeline Website until we can market renewable and sustainable energy resources to wean ourselves from the dependence on it.
