36 Inches | Understanding the Jordan Cove Energy Project

Oregon's Jordan Cove Energy Project is the final frontier for West Coast LNG exports after CA & WA both said no. 36 Inches is a recovering apathetic millennial's journey to understand this $7.6 billion project and its consequences for local residents, the state, and our country.

Jordan Cove LNG updates chamber amid protest EMILY HOARD The News-Review Feb 14, 2017

"About 100 protesters greeted members of the Roseburg Area Chamber of Commerce as they made their way to the Douglas County Fairgrounds on Monday for their monthly membership meeting and to hear an update on the Pacific Connector Gas pipeline project.

Law enforcement officers were present to ensure a safe, peaceful protest and a disruption-free meeting.

The 233-mile underground pipeline would travel from Malin, in south-central Oregon, through Klamath, Jackson, Douglas and Coos counties to reach the Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas terminal in the Port of Coos Bay, where the natural gas would be cooled down and liquefied before being shipped to Asian markets."

While 60 percent of the proposed pipeline route would cross public land and timberland managed by timber companies, about 40 percent would cross private land.

Almost 40 percent of the affected landowners have agreed to the project. Other landowners, however, do not want the project to move forward.

This 229 mile pipeline and fracked gas export project would trample the rights of landowners through use of eminent domain, disturb tribal territories and burial grounds, threaten 400 waterways, put existing jobs in fishing, tourism, and other sectors at risk, drive up energy prices, and create a major new source of climate pollution.

The campaign to stop the proposed Pacific Connector fracked gas Pipeline and Jordan Cove LNG export Terminal in southern Oregon is comprised of landowners, businesses, climate and conservation groups, native tribes, and concerned residents working together to protect our home from fossil fuel exports and create clean energy jobs instead.

Oregon's Governor Kate Brown recently told CSPAN that the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and the Pacific Connector fracked gas pipeline proposed in southern Oregon was just a “federal decision.” However, Governor Brown and the state of Oregon do have the authority to stop this project for good, despite what the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) may do under Trump.

In fact, Oregon has denied an LNG terminal once before, despite FERC granting an approval.

While the original plan, proposed in 2004, including a power plant with the LNG facility, the new design does not.

Jordan Cove Energy Project

Jordan Cove Energy Project L.P. proposes to construct a liquefied natural gas export facility on 500 acres of the North Spit across the Coos Bay from the Southwest Oregon Regional Airport. The facility would have the capacity to export up to six million metric tons of liquefied natural gas per year. Veresen, the parent company and applicant, also proposes to build a natural gas pipeline called the Pacific Connector between the Jordan Cove facility and Malin in Klamath County. The 235-mile, 36-inch diameter pipeline’s capacity would be up to one billion cubic feet of natural gas per day.

For over a decade, communities in southern Oregon have stood up against the proposed fracked gas export project and pipeline. This project, now proposed by a huge Canadian fossil fuel corporation called Pembina, would threaten about 400 waterways (including 12 public drinking water sources); disturb tribal territories and burial grounds; trample the rights of landowners through the use of eminent domain; put existing jobs in fishing, tourism, and other sectors at risk; drive up energy prices; and become Oregon’s largest source of climate pollution by 2020.

A Massive Pipeline Is Being Planned in Oregon. But Local Landowners Won't Go Down Without a Fight. A proposed natural gas pipeline is uniting Oregonians across the political spectrum.

"Bill Gow is a true gentleman. The kind of old-fangled rancher who tips his cowboy hat to a young journalist as he declares, his voice carrying a subtle twang: "Pleasure to make your acquaintance, ma'am." He's tall and sturdy, with an air of calloused invincibility that comes from spending a lifetime working outdoors, raising cattle and carrying out the innumerable chores such a vocation entails."
