While I understand people are hungry for jobs, and want to make some use of an abandoned facility which is an eyesore, to embrace this idea to export coal is shortsighted. These folks need to look at the bigger picture and not just their local economic woes.
hello all, it is astonishing how just months ago when 29 souls lost their lives and 3 other miners came so close to the same fate; the CEO of that mining outfit Blankenship told the congressional leadership about the need of domestic coal for the security of our nation, of course this is just a ruse to sell the murder of God's creation. these dollars would be better spent in building solar power generation plants to harness the 1 kW per square foot of Aussie sunshine, for the future of the planet and not this foolish endevor from another century.

As a citizen of Cowlitz County, I was appalled when I heard of this plan - though I would be just as firmly opposed to it if it were proposed for a different location. It would be an environmental disaster wherever it took place.
I was unable to attend the hearing, or the protests, but I made sure to submit my comments to the Commissioners (and to the Governor). Absolutely terrible idea.
I agree with VanderHeuvel, three guys in a small county shouldn't be making this kind of decision; that's just crazy. While I don't think those three guys are dumb enough to approve this, it shouldn't come to that.
Good folks in Washington and Oregon recently defeated a proposal for a deep water port to import liquefied natural gas from Asia. The dredging for these piers and turning basins for large ships have potential significant adverse impact on endangered Columbia River salmon runs.
The jobs are few. We do not need this in Washington on Oregon.
Listen to the people of Washington and Oregon and do not dredge for new piers and turning basins to import natural gas. The adverse impact on the Columbian River is to great.
This is a trend. In Utah we are fighting a proposal to build the states first strip coal mine - coal that would likely be exported, possibly to Asia. This project would be right beside Bryce Canyon National Park - threatening the legendary quiet, clear air and night skies of this iconic park. More at http://bit.ly/suwa_alton
