Northwestern US Holds Key to Stopping Global Causes of Climate Change
The Pacific Northwest United States is, arguably, on its way to becoming one of the most climate-friendly economies in the industrialized world. Certainly the region is acting as fast as anyplace in the US to reduce the causes of climate change. Both Oregon and Washington were early adopters of strict fuel economy standards for vehicles, and the two states have some of the nation’s most progressive statewide renewable energy standards. Yet perhaps most important of all is the fact that Oregon and Washington are at the forefront of the fight to end US dependence on coal.
The Sierra Club and a diverse coalition of Northwest citizen advocacy groups have set their sights on closing Oregon’s Boardman Coal Plant and Washington’s TransAlta Coal Plant by the year 2015, replacing both plants with renewable energy sources as soon as possible. Worldwide, coal is the single most important cause of climate change, and these two power plants represent the Northwest’s largest sources of carbon emissions. By phasing out coal, groups like the Sierra Club hope the Northwest can set an example for the entire US to follow.
But now global energy companies want to turn the Northwest into an export zone for coal mined in the Powder River Basin of Montana and Wyoming, which they hope to export across the Pacific to China and other growing markets. Today news broke in the Oregonian that Peabody Energy and Ambre Energy are both looking to build terminals on the Columbia River to process coal exports for Asian markets. These companies want to export as much as thirty million tons of coal each year, which when burned would release fifty million tons of carbon emissions. In nipping the proposal in the bud, nonprofits and citizen groups in the Northwest can make a crucial contribution to reducing the global causes of climate change.
