Oregon Governor Reacts to FERC Letter
Governor Ted Kulongoski (D-Ore.) told KMTR Radio that he is prepared to litigate to ensure that any LNG terminals proposed for Oregon are needed and safe. FERC denied Gov. Kulongoski’s request that it conduct a regional review of proposed LNG terminals, explaining that market forces decide whether a facility is built once FERC determines that a proposal meets certain safety and environmental criteria.
