Sightline on Vancouver, WA Oil Train Proposal

SwatchJunkies

If you’re following Sightline’s work on Northwest oil-by-rail projects, you may enjoy listening to this radio segment I did this week on KBOO, a community radio station based in Portland.

The piece is around 15 minutes long, and you can listen at this link. I’d like to give a big “thanks” to Old Mole Variety Hour host Laurie Mercier for a well-crafted interview session.

A few hours after my interview aired, the Vancouver City Council passed a strongly-worded resolution opposing the giant oil-by-rail transshipment scheme proposed on the waterfront by oil company Tesoro. Things are starting to get interesting on the Columbia.
