Last year in Clark County, we created 7,000 new jobs without sacrificing our quality of life for an oil terminal.
It is possible that all the new crude-by-rail proposals in the Northwest will be rejected.
With fewer oil trains, jobs in the Columbia Waterfront project could materialize more quickly.
It’s time to turn the page. Oil terminals are the past. It’s time to focus on the economy of the future.
Instead of spending billions of dollars for oil each week, we can use some of that money to build clean energy systems, as is being done in California. The power companies there have announced plans to install 25,000 high-speed charging stations, 1300 megawatts of battery storage systems, and a million solar panels.
