| Oct 30 2012 -- Jan 15 LNG Abuses Get Their Moment in the Spotlight |   Pipeline construction is one of many impacts of LNG export.
We have just contributed to an extensive package of "scoping comments" sent by the coalition to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), demanding that the full range of potential environmental and social impacts of LNG development be considered before any license is granted that would enable development of the proposal Jordan Cove LNG facility and Pacific Connector pipeline bringing "fracked" gas from inland sources.
Our colleagues in the coalition, Rogue Riverkeeper, have produced a video that explores some of the issues. Their focus, understandably, is on impacts to the Rogue watershed and other inland areas that would be impacted by the pipeline that would extend across Oregon, crossing and damaging hundreds of streams. While Oregon Shores is more specifically focused on potential damage to the habitats of the estuary and North Spit that would be directly affected by LNG or coal export, the impacts of the pipeline on a long swath of southern Oregon, and of fracking wherever it takes place, are also an important part of the equation.
The video is worth viewing. You’ll find it on YouTube by clicking here.
