Outside investors are planning to build two massive new pipelines to transport imported natural gas through the Gales Creek Valley. We don't need them and we don't want them! But these investors have "eminent domain." They can run their pipelines across private property without the owner's permission.

One of these proposed gas pipelines will run the length of our farm, with the "construction easements" completely consuming our main field. We would be wiped out.

Oregon does not need this imported fossil fuel. Our governor has committed us to renewable energy and conservation, and condemned the deeply flawed federal permitting process for these pipelines. The Oregon Department of Energy has determined that LNG is the worst way to meet Oregon's energy needs.
