Sightline on Coal and Oil Schemes in the Northwest

If you’re following Sightline’s work on Northwest fossil fuel exports and oil train projects, you may enjoy listening to this radio segment I did this morning on KBOO, a community radio station based in Portland. The piece is around 45 minutes long, which I think is a nice length for digging into issues in a more substantive way than most media formats allow.

You can listen at this link.

A big thanks to Locus Focus host Barbara Bernstein for inviting me onto the program, and for developing a very thoughtful line of inquiry.

  1. Couldn’t get the link to work. I’m wondering if we start fighting the oil trains we might expect to succeed about the time the Bakken Play is in steep decline.
