I don't want more. Regarding the use of offsetting coal as a dying industry, its use will continue to fall without approving the Kalama project and stating we should approve it quote unquote to reduce coal use is the last gentleman was talking about. I think was disingenuous, misleading and false. I guess all use of fossil fuels for their life when we don't need to do that. I want Washington to create more clean energy companies and not, slightly less  dirty if we  ship the numbers just right companies. And the chance to have a major impact on reducing fossil fuels and on saving the environment. This industry needs our coast so we can say no to this project and have a direct impact on plastic pollution and climate change. This is a rare opportunity to think globally and acted globally by rejecting the project.

I mean we are about to enter a point in history where we have more poundage of plastic in our oceans that we do real fish. We cannot subsidize and keep making these changes happen for jury ways of fuel. The only way forward and the only way to save our way of life is to not pander to these companies that are just unaccepting of the damage that they are doing. We can only invest in green electric, alternatives. There is just no way around this. We cannot keep polluting the planet and justifying that this is an okay project to make on the banks of the river that we know will call innumerable damage. Just do what is right if you have any shred of decency and you. I'm done.

I see climate change, the lake, I saw the surrounding conifer forest turning from deep green to a dying gray. I have no words on how it tracks my heart for this slow death. And the tear of the forest and flames. The error has been on how soon we would see such catastrophic effects and I also member a time we got along fine without plastic. And flying across the immensity,[ emotional speech] we do not need more of it. Now with this  smoke and almost encircling the earth, we must have the vision to see you to a route that must slow this mountain of disaster. Not further exacerbated. I know we have the ability to find a better way forward. For the sake of our children, security and future, I call on the Department of ecology to reject the refinery instead their every resource into renewable energy sectors Thank you

It is happening because I am one of them. I was born in 1979 which was the first year that they did I think a climate change analysis. And for the entirety of my life, I have been watching things change. From when I was a young child until now. I have been dealing with, in Texas, 115 up to 120 ° summers nonstop for years now. People will be leaving that region. Because it will become inhabitable. And lastly I would like to say real quick, some numbers here. Someone mentioned we have a project giving 30 to $40 million in revenue. You know how much damage the fires will do, 130 to 150 billion in losses. So from million 2 billion do the mass. And reject this project and the refinery in the shoreline project for this. Thank you.

And safety precautions and safety systems in place with all the codes. And different than what the other industrial partners have. With that being said, we ask that this has been looked at three different times now and to move forward with this project and we hope that ecology takes out the emotion and looks at the facts. And moves forward with allowing the permits to be issued. Thank you.

I listened to the-- what the land and his family for over 150 years, because of Frank mining his family can no longer use it to drink. Leaks during fracking, transportation, refining it into methanol and then shipping the methanol overseas for youth are linked in a chain of illusion around the neck of the people and creatures of this plan.

Is the moral and spiritual obligation to confront the misinformation, speculation and omissions about the environmental effects of ethanol production by NWIW. The environmental cost to the many far outweigh any profit that would be made by the few. I urge you to deny the shoreline permit for the plant. The lives of the most vulnerable among us and those in future generations depend on it. Thank you.

 Increase gas emissions in order to have a  livable future. When there is overwhelming scientific evidence that we must make drastic reductions in greenhouse gas emissions now.

We can't afford to go down this suicidal path. We are assaulted by catastrophic climate disruption causing increased heat, droughts, wildfires, and breathable air, increased illness and death from heat, storms, diseases, no mac of lung disease, aggravated by air pollution, displacing thousands of  people and what more of a wake-up call do you need? Please deny the shorelines permit and reject this proposal.

To make more plastic and bird methanol for Canadian and Chinese companies. Also the fires polluting the air now in Washington states are partly caused by drought in California, Washington and Oregon on. Millions of gallons of water are used for fracking oil. And there are millions of them. And this project would encourage more fracking and make our drought worse. Or fire equals more loss of life, property, unhealthy air and making everything unhealthy. My grandkids play in that water there. And now my granddaughter has trouble breathing. We need to invest in clean energy, I have been taking a poll on how many people are against this project.

I counted so far 51 to 11. 51 against, and please listen to the numbers and deny this project. Thank you.

I know firsthand the devastation of the Exxon Valdez oil spill.

I know what these things are like firsthand and that's why I am here. And now you don't need to use your imagination to understand the gravity of climate change. Because for most people things maybe just got real. This is exactly what economic totality looks like if Northwest innovation works guess to build. How many of us have lost our jobs? Not all prisoners inside of it are lucky. Our economy already in the toilet. About the draft analysis on the methanol refinery without touching on how damning it would be for water, upstream, on-site and downstream literally and not even adjusting for the low leakage figures by including top-down measurements on the estimates using U.S. locations. This massive refinery is expected to release at least 4.6 million tons of GHGs into the atmosphere each year. And it does not and will not meet the states climate goals. Period.  Meanwhile our kids are not having a childhood. They are suffering in every way, this is being framed as a lesser evil or, it is shameful and absolutely sickening. We are counting on you to say no. Reject the permit and allow for the creativity that comes out of necessity for better solutions. Ink you for your time.

Number of people comment about how amazing it was in this past week we literally have a taste of the worst air pollution in the world. People everywhere want cleaner air and demand of the government for less pollution.

From a technology standpoint we can and will do better. Right now renewable energies with a form of new energy in most places in the world. What we have done with renewables is an amazing achievement of human engineered he and hard work applied to process improvement. This methanol postal on the other hand is a last gas effort-- the only thing green about this proposal would be the use of our federally subsidized clean renewable electricity to run the plant. That is our energy and better uses including heating and cooling our homes, hopefully reducing emissions from our cars so we can have inner air. Please analyze this proposal for what it is. An unmitigated fossil fuel export proposal with no hope of captured or sequestered emissions. Please don't rely on pessimistic speculation, relax analytic rigor that has technical advancements and renewable energies and discounts a livable planet and clean air. Thank you

By using the term in-state, Northwest innovation works is not willing to negate GHG's outside the state of Washington. This includes the fusion of methane and methanol burn and transport to China and as a fuel for the production. This is only one of the many glaring errors I saw and I will put the rest in writing. This project is a climate killer and the only responsible decision is for ecology to deny the shoreline permit. Thank you.

That's why we support this project. But going back to the local billing traits and affiliates partnered with Northwest innovations to maximize this investment in the region. Along with that, one of the goals was also to help protect the environment and the beautiful Columbia River we all love and rely on so much. Early on we found the innovation shared the same values and over the last six years have back that up with commitments to 0 liquid discharge and technologies and 100 percent mitigation plan for Washington state. We are very excited about the opportunity to move this project forward and I would say equally excited that we have a project that has helped a new higher standard for the environment and future development along the Columbia River in Washington and Oregon on. With that would urge the Department of ecology to expedite any process left so we can start building this facility and we can start reducing read house gases as soon as possible. Thank you.

Every time I visit my 93-year-old father, he asked me when I plan to start a family and how many kids I want to raise. I tell him I would like to have 1 or 2 kids in my thirties. I don't tell him is that I'm terrified of what the world will look like in 20 to 30 years. Will my children have to wear a mask every where to decrease the pollutant inhalation and showing photos of a clean healthy Columbia River? Article 5 Section 1 of-- states everyone has the standard of living adequate [Indiscernible] I cannot in good function pass on to my children the burden of spending every day fighting for basic human rights.

We will not allow the consequences of the consumption of the world's largest methanol refinery here, the consequences are unavoidable and Columbia is the GESS River in our region, loosing toxins into the air that is usually clean and healthy. And the greenhouse gases. It is your mission to preserve, protect and enhance ecology and counting on you to quash this fossil fuel project.

We believe we can do other than to enforce a fossil gas dependent economy. I'm here to ask you with utmost earnestness to please deny the permits for the proposed methanol refinery.

I was born here, went away to high school and college and law school in California but I have came back to practice law and racy family. I have three sisters and a brother and families that continue to live in Calais County. I have a  heartfelt ...↓

And to make Calais County the best place it can be. Personally I have a theory that if I do all I can to improve my community and make it a better place to live and everyone did that same thing, together we could make the world a better place to live. That mindset in 2000 I ran was a listed to run on the city Council. I served cold beers on the Council and the last four of which I was Mayor city of Longview. Following that I ran for Cowlitz PD Commissioner. I can tell you being a lifelong Commissioner of Cowlitz County jobs are crucial. We have a higher unemployment rate generally. Historically it seems we have the first to lose jobs in the last to get them back. However weighing jobs against the environment is no question. I'm sitting here in my office looking out at the haze from the fires. There is no question that the environment takes precedent. The question for me becomes whether the plant will be built somewhere else. And has an insatiable appetite for plastic. Everything is made out of plastic. The computer case, the cell phone, what holds the windows in place as all plastic. And this will be built somewhere else and more polluting, the benefits to our county outweigh that. Thank you.

In the first 20 years in the atmosphere methane is the 86 times more effective, trapping heat than carbon dioxide. Northwest innovation won't leave any money in the ground will they? Just think this is their opportunity to generate up to 5 million tons of additional greenhouse gas pollution every year. According to them our planet can afford to burn up, I mean more gas. That is why I am here to thank you for trusting fossil fuel industry to do the right thing, ignore the science. And forgetting the green light to Northwest innovation works. Thank you.

Comment From: Jean Avery

9/16/20 @ 5:00 PM
>> Good afternoon everyone. I am Jean Avery, resident of Vancouver Washington. We have heard components of the NWIW project say that this refinery would be good for jobs couldn't. Why would we invite more pollution into our region for 40 years?...↓

This would not reduce actual emissions. Number three, does ecology have resources to oversee this project? Instead ecology could focus on proactive measures for a clean energy future. Number 4, 40 years is plenty of time to enact mean energy programs. When NWIW claims its operation is less polluting and other sources and assumes other fossil fuel sources. I believe we are on the cost of a clean energy future.

It is time to say goodbye to fossil fuel projects. Please deny this project.

All you need to do is look outside at the smoke hitting the region. The climate crisis is here and the communities are hurting. Please hear the prophetic try that it's time to move beyond fossil fuels. Current market conditions do not provide justification for investment in 40 years of pollution. If anything, 2020 has shown us that we cannot predict the future. And the only sure thing in this analysis is that this refinery will be a major looter. We don't have time for that. We do have time to change the market. Denying this comma is the first step to doing so. We do not have to  way this against other dirty fossil fuel facilities that don't exist. And said based on the stewardship, justice, reflected in our state s shared climate and clean energy goals. We need you to be join us as prophets, pave the path to a low carbon future. Take the moral high road. Do what is right and reject this harmful gas facility.

We are at a point in history where your decisions now truly shape the health and safety of the communities in this region and beyond for decades to come. The methanol refinery would worsen the crisis and cause comma just pollution. Urinalysis makes this clear. The project would generate 4.6 million tons of greenhouse gas pollution each year and up to 9.4 million tons of pollution if we assume a higher rate of pain releases during the fracking process. The number goes even higher if we assume all of it is burned as fuel which we know is the intention of request innovation works having advertised this liquid sunshine to investors while simultaneously misleading ecology and the public for years.

Let's see it for what it is.

A massive polluter.

You have been provided everything you need to deny this dangerous proposal.

There is no one who believes that believes will be the largest refinery will reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It's your duty to look at what we now.

This proposal will be a massive polluter and total opposition to Washington's climate goals and healthy future. We deserve better and calling on you to stand up for the people of this region for our environment, for the future. We are counting on you to do the right thing and deny this gas refinery. Take you.

Not only with this project, sickened local citizens and most likely we will be paying for it from our pension funds. The Chinese would build it and profit from it and our expense. Will they be required to post risk funds since the site would be built on fill in a liquefaction zone once it become a stranded asset, taxpayers will be left with the cleanup. There is no way to mitigate the climate harms for allowing additional fact projects and there is a bumper sticker that says climate change is just another way to burn in Hell. We are certainly getting a taste of that right now. And my eight-year-old grandson Marlon said I'm not having any and humans might even be extinct by then. That made me very sad. Because SEIS is grounded on the theory of displacement used on a speculative economic future. Your decision affects everyone's grandchildren. Please don't amble away their future. Deny this project.

Where it is not. They are advertising on TV and Facebook right now about the pathway, their pathway to the clean sustainable future. And all the emissions are accounted for, gases nearly as bad as coal and ethanol is worse. Methanol is the opposite and it is a pollution added product. That are to use the fuel at the source then to add the illusion generated by a methanol plant. The gas industry has known about climate change for decades. What has engaged in the campaign of deception to help sell the products. They have fooled most of the public and elected officials. Pulled the green groups as well. Until we learned about methane leaks in 2014. And out trying to full you with the displacement theory. Don't believe anything they say and get rid of the speculation and the EIS and protect the future and say no to the destruction. Now my wife who is registered to speak.
