Governor Inslee will have 60 days to stop the largest crude oil terminal in North America, once a regulatory agency makes a recommendation.
That regulatory agency (EFSEC) will announce their recommendation IN PUBLIC, IN VANCOUVER. At that public meeting, we will show up in mass. We will either celebrate or protest their recommendation, and call on Governor Inslee to deny the Vancouver Oil Terminal.
We will get 1 week's notice of this public meeting, so we will change the information on this facebook event. Let’s not let the short notice keep us from showing up!
The proposed Vancouver oil terminal would handle a staggering 360,000 barrels of crude oil each day. That’s 42% of the capacity of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline. The terminal would bring 5 more explosive oil trains per day through the Columbia River Gorge. Further, it would sharply increase the oil barge and ship traffic in the columbia river, risking oil spills that could kill large numbers of our already dwindling salmon population.
This summer, we got a taste of what climate change can bring. We cannot allow new fossil fuel infrastructure to be built. Show up to the last public meeting on the oil terminal, and tell Governor Inslee, he needs to deny this terminal now!
