Canceling a Natural Gas Pipeline

The Jordan Cove Energy Project, a proposed 229-mile pipeline intended to transport fracked gas from Canada for export as LNG via Coos Bay, Oregon, was withdrawn by the company Pembina. The cancellation followed significant grassroots opposition, including lobbying of officials like Representative Peter DeFazio and Senator Ron Wyden, participation in the Climate Strike Week of Action, and the submission of 25,000 member signatures to elected officials.

• The Jordan Cove Energy Project was a proposed 229-mile pipeline designed to move fracked gas from Canada to Coos Bay, Oregon, for export as liquified natural gas (LNG), which posed risks to forests, watersheds, and tribal lands.
• The project was withdrawn by the Canadian energy company Pembina following intense pressure from community members, activists, and public officials.
• Friends of the Earth and its members utilized several tactics to oppose the pipeline, including direct lobbying of Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Peter DeFazio, organizing protests during the Climate Strike Week of Action, recruiting 500 volunteers, and collecting 25,000 signatures.
