Oregon port vote is latest
local action on fossil fuels
OBITUARIES

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.

Since 2010, at least 20

few have come to fruition.
“Almost all the victories
