Event: Coal and Oil Trains in the Columbia River Gorge

Next Tuesday, February 9th, Eric de Place will join leaders in the Vancouver, Washington, area for the Columbia River Gorge Commission‘s monthly public meeting. Eric de Place will speak from 12:30-1:00 PM, focusing on the threat of oil and coal trains to the Columbia River and local communities.

The Northwest is on the front lines of oil and coal transport by rail. More than a dozen new proposals have emerged in recent years to ship coal and oil to Northwest refineries and port terminals. Join us next Tuesday to learn more and be a part of the discussion.
