I am very concerned about the proposed Methanol plant being considered for Kalama. This is a Chinese company that wants to rape our resources, pollute our air, water, and land, and ship the end product — the methanol — to them.
The dirty and devastating fracking of our land, then shipping that volatile oil to refining to methanol at the NWIW (Northwest Innovation Works) plant, and shipping this gas across the oceans is dangerous to us all, our land, water and air.
This company released an environmental impact study that was terribly lacking and horribly misleading. This plant will emit 1.2 million cars’ worth of pollution to our air with cancer-causing emissions. Another alarm is the million gallons of Columbia River water that they will use daily in operating this plant. The plant will use more gas than all Pacific Northwest cities combined and need massive new fracked gas pipeline expansions.
I am against this devastating action. I was born in Cowlitz County, have two sons living there with three granddaughters more, and I don’t want this happening to my people or yours. Please help us in stopping the insanity. Reconsider with the alternatives that are available, and for the people of the USA.
