350 Wenatchee Climate Conversations NCW

Today the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) gave a huge gift to the fossil fuel industry by approving the GTN Xpress fracked gas expansion project.

TC Energy’s GTN Xpress project would bring more fracked gas into Idaho, Washington, Oregon, and California by increasing compression in the aging GTN pipeline. Pushing more gas through an old pipeline is a bad plan, and the project’s pollution will equal that of several fossil fuel power plants—3.47 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions each year.

When it comes to TC’s Energy’s plan to push more fracked gas into our region, we won’t take yes for an answer. Columbia Riverkeeper and our partners will petition for a rehearing to challenge FERC’s approval of GTN Xpress. The states of Washington, Oregon, and California should do the same.

Join us in supporting public interest groups and states in challenging FERC’s reckless decision.

FERC’s decision to ignore our voices shouldn’t be the final word. We will continue to fight to hold FERC accountable. You can make a difference by supporting Columbia Riverkeeper now. Together we will continue to fight to hold FERC accountable.
