The proposed Kalama methanol facility would be a disaster for the climate.
The proponents claim the purpose of the petrochemical facility is to use fracked gas to make olefins, a precursor to plastics, and that the Kalama project will displace dirtier coal-based methods used in China.
It turns out that this project will displace the most common, much cleaner, and more expensive process, which uses naphtha from petroleum.
We don’t need to endanger our children’s future, our health, public safety, property values, and salmon recovery for a two-year construction job.
The project site is in a liquefaction zone, within a subduction zone and we are overdue for an earthquake larger than any in California.
