Tesoro-Savage wants to build the North America's largest crude-by-rail export terminal in Vancouver, Washington. But many people in the community have a very different idea of the future they want for the region. At a public meeting on Tuesday, April 12, Port of Vancouver officials will consider whether or not to amend the lease for the terminal and hear testimony from the public.
On this episode we talk again with Dan Serres, Conservation Director with Columbia Riverkeeper, about why so many people will be attending this meeting, to hold the Thin Green Line against fossil fuel infrastructure development in the Pacific Northwest.
Dan Serres works to engage diverse communities along the Columbia. In 2005, he started with Columbia Riverkeeper as the lead organizer in our successful campaign to protect the Columbia River Estuary, forests, and farmland from the Bradwood Landing Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) proposal and its related pipelines. Since 2009, he has filled the role of Conservation Director where his work has broadened to protecting the Columbia River from a barrage of dirty fossil fuel export proposals including LNG export terminals, coal export terminals, oil-by-rail facilities, and power plants.
ATTEND THE VANCOUVER PORT COMMISSION MEETING TUESDAY, APRIL 12 FROM 9:30 AM TO 9 PM
