All along the Columbia River, communities have rejected proposed industries that add greenhouse gas to the atmosphere in place of non-polluting industries and businesses. With the increased tourist attractions on the waterfront in Kalama, more tourist dollars help support the community. So why should Gov. Jay Inslee support Northwest Innovations Works, whose methanol refinery will be the largest polluter the state?
This company falsely claims the methanol plant will help reduce climate change, while downplaying the environmental impacts that threaten the current citizens and future generations. Gov. Inslee has claimed to be an environmental governor and has claimed to be neutral about the proposed plant; an environmental leader should never be neutral, but should lead to stop climate change.
