ICYMI: today's debate on @OPBTOL re: #Kalamamethanol, we went toe-to-toe with project proponents, take 15 minutes & listen to the segment here: open.spotify.com/episode/6WnWL4…. #powerpastfrackedgas
#cleanenergyisNOTfracked

@DaveMillerOPB mentioned a few reports during the segment in case you'd like to dig a little deeper on the #greenhousegas emissions impact of this project or the financial info... #powerpastfrackedgas

By 2025, the project could become WA’s single largest source of climate pollution. What can you do to stop this project? 1. Attend tomorrow's hearing: 12/13 in Longview, WA: bit.ly/NoMethanolDec13 2. Speak up & sign our petition: bit.ly/PowerPastFrack… #powerpastfrackedgas

Tell @GovInslee you oppose the world's largest fracked gas-to-methanol refinery! Phone: [phone] or 855-863-4214. Email through the Governor's website @WaStateGov Snail Mail: Gov. Jay Inslee, Office of the Governor PO Box 40002, Olympia WA 98504-0002 bit.ly/PowerPastFrack…

There is no way to make the world’s largest methanol refinery look pretty. The project is dangerous, harmful to our health, and locks in decades of fossil fuel use. #NoFracking #NoMethanol #NoFossilFuels #RenewableEnergyNow

Project proponent's report underestimates both the the amount and the potency of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, that would be associated with the Kalama facility due to increased fracking. #powerpastfrackedgas

Project proponent's report fails to properly evaluate the climate impacts of fracking if the company relies on fracked gas from the U.S. rather than Canada in the future. #powerpastfrackedgas

Project proponent's report relies on highly speculative assumptions about global methanol markets and China’s use of coal-based methanol production. #powerpastfrackedgas

Project proponent's report does not properly account for the greenhouse gas impacts of methanol as a fuel source, a probable use of the methanol produced in Kalama. #powerpastfrackedgas
