Newspaper Page Text2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • MONDAY, MAY 15, 2017 Oregon port vote is latest local action on fossil fuels OBITUARIES Henry Ingmar Kalfholm Astoria Oct. 19, 1927 — May 3, 2017 By PHUONG LE Associated Press SEATTLE — Residents of a coastal community in Oregon are considering whether to try to derail a fos- sil fuel export project in their rural county, a decision that could put them at odds with the Trump administration. The ballot measure before Coos County voters Tuesday would block the $7.5 billion Jordan Cove Energy Project, a proposed liqueﬁ ed natu- ral gas port that would be the ﬁ rst of its kind on the U.S. West Coast. The vote comes weeks after a Trump adviser said the administration would approve the project. Fed- eral regulators denied a per- mit for the export terminal and pipeline under President Barack Obama. In recent years, Ameri- can Indian tribes and envi- ronmentalists have success- fully fought a number of fossil fuel export projects in the Paciﬁ c Northwest, and pushed for local regulations to prevent new projects. As President Donald Trump aggressively pushes fossil fuel exploration, oppo- nents say they’re more focused than ever on actions at the state and local level to stop the Northwest from becoming a gateway for exporting the nation’s fossil fuels. “We’ve all been wait- ing nervously for the Trump Henry Ingmar Kalfholm, 89, passed away Base, where he built and maintained electrical May 3, 2017, in Astoria.

Since 2010, at least 20 projects have been proposed in Oregon and Washington to handle and move coal, crude oil, methanol, propane or liq- ueﬁ ed natural gas, but only a few have come to fruition. “Almost all the victories happened at the state or local level,” de Place said. Other examples of local pushback include: • The city of Portland in December banned new bulk fossil fuel storage terminals within city limits.
