Jordan Cove LNG: Will It or Won't It

"The Oregon Department of State Lands has extended its deadline by six months on whether to issue a construction permit to the Jordan Cove LNG pipeline project, according to the DSL's website.

According to the website, the department has been deluged with some 49,000 to 57,000 comments. It did not say which way the majority of the comments fell, be it in favor or opposition."

Dramatic, right? And they've secured enough commitments from buyers to make it worth building. Here.

Shockingly, the "Keep Oil & Gas in the Ground" brigade are apparently annoyed:

An environmental group called Rogue Climate, which opposes the project, said in a press release Wednesday, “Throughout the 60-day public comment period on the permit, the Department of State Lands received over 50,000 comments in opposition to the project.

Oregon is also the state where children are suffering from lock-jaw and other serious consequences, including death, of not being vaccinated for tetanus and other serious diseases not seen in the nation in 30 years.  Their parents won't allow it.  They are also a pit of illegal cannabis growers/distributors and some of the highest drug use and overdose problems in the nation.  What's going on up/over there?  Is anyone in control?

Now it's beginning to make sense.
