Poll suggests strong support for LNG

Here’s a piece of news that’s probably not being reported. According to a Moore Information poll of Portland, the majority of people support LNG terminals. The report found that:

An LNG terminal is favored by 56%, and opposed by 16%. The remaining 29% have no opinion.

Radical Environmentalists have mounted a savage opposition against LNG, or Liquefied Natural Gas. Currently there are a two proposed LNG terminals, though only one of them would ever be built.

A question should be considered. Why do we, at Lights On Oregon, refer to groups like Columbia Riverkeeper, or the Oregon Chapter of the Sierra Club as “radical”?

Let us explain.

We at Lights On Oregon care about the environment. In fact, in the classical sense of the word we are “environmentalists.” However, environmentalism, like anything, can be taken to an illogical extreme. We’ve shown that the proposed LNG terminal is good for both Oregon and the nation. We’ve also shown why it is necessary. And finally, we’ve shown the radical environmental opposition to the LNG terminal(s).

So what makes radical environmental groups radical? The simple fact that they are actually hurting the environment because by their own actions. The antithesis of environmentalism is radical environmentalism.
