Letter: Speak out against Kalama refinery

By Marjie Fields, Vancouver
Published: November 16, 2019, 6:00am

Residents of our state need to know the truth abut the proposed Kalama methanol plant. They need to know they are being lied to by the Chinese company seeking to build the world’s largest fracked gas-to-methanol refinery — and have U.S. taxpayers subsidize it.

This plant would use more fracked gas than all other industries in Washington combined, and the resulting greenhouse gas pollution would undermine Washington’s climate goals. The environmental review for the project is deliberately hiding the impacts of this highly polluting project. Tell the state Department of Ecology to reject the misleading report and make the informed decision to deny the final Shoreline permit needed. Protect our children’s future; this is our last chance to stop this dangerous project. Call 360-407-6969 or Email the Department of Ecology media contact: jeff.zenk@ecy.wa.gov.
