Canceling a Natural Gas Pipeline

A case study by Friends of the Earth detailing the successful opposition to the Jordan Cove Energy Project, a proposed 229-mile natural gas pipeline intended to transport fracked gas from Canada to Coos Bay, Oregon.

• The Jordan Cove Energy Project, a proposed 229-mile pipeline designed to transport fracked gas from Canada for export as liquified natural gas (LNG) to Coos Bay in Oregon, was withdrawn by the Canadian energy company Pembina following community and activist opposition.
• Opposition efforts led by community members, activists, and Friends of the Earth included lobbying elected officials such as Senator Ron Wyden and Representative Peter DeFazio, participating in the Climate Strike Week of Action, and organizing rallies in Oregon.
• Grassroots mobilization against the project resulted in 500 volunteer signups and the collection of 25,000 member signatures opposing the project, which were delivered to elected officials.
