A quarter of the mercury in our air in Oregon comes from China. Why should we sell them coal to increase that amount?It is not about commodities it is about pollution and potential disaster. The reason we of the correct coast do not wish to handle coal is the ecological disaster any kind of mishap will cause to our states.
Where Asia?
Oh looky looky republicans demanding that the big fed gubmint step in to force a state to submit. Fuck those yokels. Washington should not have to risk contamination so those yoke states can cling to 18th century rock tech.How can one person say "coal is stinky" there for no one in the world can use a cheap product
Washington state in legal battle with 6 states after it refuses to build coal export terminal
A lawsuit has pitted six landlocked states against Washington State over a simple question: Who owns the federal ports?WashingtonState is denying the states the permits required to build a large coal export terminal along the Columbia River. The states have sued and Washington filed a motion for dismissal.
But U.S. District Court Judge Robert Bryan rejected Washington State’s motion, setting the stage for a legal showdown over who really gets final say over which products flow through the nation’s sea ports.
Were talking about the Constitution and the rule of law,” said Montana Attorney General Tim Fox, “One state can’t discriminate against another state’s commodities in this way.”
Montana and Wyoming are leading plaintiffs and two of the largest coal-producing states in the country. The Powder River Basin contains 2.5 billion tons of recoverable coal and currently supplies 40 percent of the coal used in the United States. But as many states wean themselves off of electricity from burning coal, coal companies are looking to boost exports, primarily to Asia. But they have a major problem: there are no ports along the West Coast currently set up to load coal onto ships.
Egad, you are one dumb fuck. A major source of CO2 puts that into the atmosphere where, in not that long, it is dispersed around the world. The atmosphere is well mixed.How you 'Conservatives' treasure your willful ignorance. The CO2 from any plant affects the CO2 level worldwide.In the link he also says the state of Washington breathes coal air from the state of Mississippi .
WTF ..... How much junk science does the left believe in?

And I fart and Pluto goes off course by a pubic hair...
He is saying the winds go west not east.. any idiot who lived when Mount Saint hellens blew her top knows that's not true.

No, we just don't want the Northwest polluted by their coal. They can fly their damned coal out if the want.A quarter of the mercury in our air in Oregon comes from China.

That's not his defense and it's the interstate commerce clause we are talking about, he is trying to prevent jobs from the land lock States, prevent them for selling their products

We have had the commerce clause since the 1800s , once again you can't hold a nation hostage over a bunch of junk science flakes from the blue States.

Old crock, are you drunk again, your post reads as such. Sober up, unless it is dementia.Egad, you are one dumb fuck. A major source of CO2 puts that into the atmosphere where, in not that long, it is dispersed around the world. The atmosphere is well mixed.
Cant make solar panels or wind turbines without it. Your idea that it is time to move on is your opinion. An opinion that is not based on education or facts.Coal is a 19th century fuel.
It’s time to move on.
