John,

Despite opposition from the Puyallup Tribe and thousands across Puget Sound, the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency made the unacceptable decision to approve the permit for PSE’s dirty Tacoma LNG facility.

The same day the Puyallup Tribe and the City of Tacoma each declared a climate emergency, PSCAA approved this project based on deeply flawed analysis that fails to protect our climate and community safety, and without consultation with the Puyallup Tribe. This unacceptable decision threatens to lock us into a fossil fuel terminal in a time of climate crisis.

The PSCAA Board of Directors is made up of publicly elected officials from around Puget Sound that represent YOU. By issuing this permit, PSCAA is setting a dangerous precedent, and it’s time for our representatives to address it head on.

Tell YOUR representative: We can’t build a clean energy future by investing in dirty energy.

PSE’s LNG proposal is in direct conflict with PSCAA’s mission to protect our climate and clean air. The urgency of climate action demands the highest level of scrutiny and action from the Board of Directors to ensure that PSCAA comprehensively evaluates all fracked gas projects and conducts consultation with all affected treaty tribes.

This fight is far from over. Thanks to your efforts, PSCAA delayed its review of the permit and required a supplemental review. In May, Governor Inslee announced his opposition to Tacoma LNG and Kalama Methanol, and we must continue to bolster the commitments of our elected leaders against fracked gas. We will be pursuing all possible avenues to stop this project for good. Your steadfast opposition is crucial.

Your representative needs to hear from you. Tell Your PSCAA Member: The Agency’s permit decision is deeply flawed. We can’t build a clean energy future by investing in dirty energy.

Thank you for all you do,

Anna Doty
Fossil Fuel Campaign Manager
