Dear John,
|
Take action to protect our planet from the impact of fracked gas export terminals.
|
Pembina, a Canadian fossil fuel corporation, is pushing the federal government to override a denied permit for the Jordan Cove LNG export terminal and fracked gas pipeline. Take action now.
Jordan Cove LNG fracked gas export terminal would stretch 229 miles from Malin, Oregon to Coos Bay, Oregon -- impacting more than 485 rivers, streams, and wetlands along its path.
But that isn’t stopping Pembina. It is trying to bypass the state of Oregon’s authority and the Clean Water Act to push through its dirty, polluting pipeline. John, can we count on you to help stop it?
Take action to stop Jordan Cove LNG. Demand the federal government uphold Oregon’s denial.
The pipeline cannot move forward without a Clean Water Act approval from Oregon, which has already been denied. Last week the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) upheld Oregon’s denial for a permit of the Jordon Cove LNG terminal. Yet Pembina is continuing to fight for their dirty pipeline.
The Oregon Coast Coho Salmon are a threatened species and are scarcely found in streams throughout Oregon and California. The Jordan Cove LNG pipeline would cross at least 34 streams that they depend on.
Trenching, blasting, damming, or drilling in each stream will lower the quality of their habitat. Additionally, the pipeline would require the removal of stream side trees, reducing shade and increasing the stream water temperatures. This will ultimately destroy the fish habitat.
Tell the federal government to protect Coho Salmon from the Jordan Cove Liquefied Natural Gas Pipeline.
Pembina is trying to build the liquified natural gas pipeline in an area that supplies water to hundred of thousands of Oregonians. The 12 watersheds the pipeline would pass through risk contamination, disproportionately impacting low-income communities and communities of color.
The Clean Water Act worked. It did its job to protect public health and keep water safe and clean. But the fight is not over. Pembina is going to continue to pull out every stop to push through their dangerous liquified natural gas pipeline.
We know people power can move stop it. Environmentalists like you have already fought and helped defeat other pipelines. Now, we need your help to stop the Jordan Cove LNG pipeline.
35,000 Signatures Still Needed: Demand Jordan Cove LNG pipeline be stopped for good.
Standing with you,
