“The Commission denies Pacific Connector’s and Jordan Cove’s proposals.” – FERC March 11, 2016

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, a.k.a. FERC, rejected the Pacific Connector/Jordan Cove permit request today. This is the first such proposal ever rejected by FERC. It is a tribute to the passion of local anti-pipeline activists like Deb Evans, Hannah Sohl, Rogue Riverkeepers and many more. This will make national news.

Local activists marched the length of the pipeline, enlisted local landowners, demonstrated in Salem, and filed numerous objections to plans submitted by subsidiaries of Veresen Inc., a Canadian corporation. Guess what? It worked. Frankly, no one can believe it.
