This Tuesday an important decision-maker in charge of permitting all new LNG and pipeline projects will be visiting Portland. Jon Wellinghoff, the chair of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is the key-note speaker at the Green Professionals Conference at the Lloyd Center. Wellinghoff voted to oppose Bradwood LNG and Jordon Cove LNG, and we want to say Thank You. We will also urge Wellinghoff to move FERC towards including a greenhouse gas emissions and needs analysis in FERC’s environmental review process.This federal commission needs to know that we want climate change to be considered when deciding whether or not to approve new energy projects.
If you’d like to join us, meet on Tuesday morning at 8AM on NE 11th & Holladay (right across from the LloydCenter MAX).
