Listen In: The Looming Battles of the Thin Green Line

Native American tribes, Oregon regulators and communities in the southern part of the state are wary of plans for a pipeline and liquefied natural gas project planned for Coos Bay.

The people of Cascadia have scored many victories in the past decade against coal, oil, and gas corporations that want to turn the region in a superhighway to Asian markets for their fossil fuel products. But the region’s fight is far from over, as detailed in our recent report, “Northwest Targets.” The report identifies the top ten sites around Cascadia still facing significant threat from dirty energy infrastructure proposals and names strategies some communities have used to combat these plans.

Earlier today, Sightline policy director Eric de Place joined KBOO Community Radio’s Barbara Bernstein to discuss the findings of the report. Listen to the full interview here.

And check out other recent Locus Focus episodes here.

Good news! Barbara’s Locus Focus program will soon be coming to a Seattle radio station. We’ll keep you posted when we learn which one.
