Alternative is burning more coal in remote states and sending the electricity generated over long lossy wires to create heat here. Much better for environment to burn the lowest carbon fuel at the point where heat is needed.

Absolutely. We don't need to be thrown into the dark ages over a fake manmade climate crisis. We can step outside our homes and see that their is no crisis. Weather changes, it always has. I'm fed up with the anti human narrative that has become so popular over the last few decades.

Reality is that we will continue to use natural gas for the foreseeable future, regardless of the efforts to force the use of all electricity.

Natural Gas is one of the cleanest fuel , with no environment impact. And with the population growing , we need this . It's cheaper then wind power and solar. Environmentalists...get real and see the light, this means Sen. Merkley also. We don't need to go backwards in in progress.

Natural gas is much cleaner than coal and will be needed to power the electrical generating plants that will be required for the additional electricity consumed by charging all the electric cars we will be forced to drive!

Yes absolutely. We also need to get rid of all oil drilling restrictions and be oil independent, instead of depending on out enemies for oil, Instead of buying oil from our enemies we should be selling oil to our allies. The left is making this country weak,

Natural gas is a clean and viable energy source and building this pipeline is just common sense.

Tired of the Waco Libs destroying Oregon. This will create jobs and benefit everyone. Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fuel and very abundant. The fake climate activist will try to stop it and Salem will probably come up with a law Banning its use in Oregon. Wind & Solar are a failure,

Burning fossil fuels is very unhealthy for humans and all living things. Piping gas is dangerous since pipes leak the toxic contents, polluting the environment. Saving money by continuing to use natural gas instead of using clean energy is poor reasoning. Spend that money to provide clean energy!

Didn't they say the gas is going to Cali? Why?

Reply

Because California can't keep their electric grid going without it. By piping it in they can say "we do not produce or support drilling for Natural gas" Not lies but Not the truth either... That's Socialist Democrat logic, hide the truth and keep public in the dark.

Biden has no respect for his citizens. He will do whatever he wants. So far he has done nothing for us, he's ruined our country. Put us in a debt that we will never get out of. He will bleed us dry. Having this natural gas thru Oregon is so wrong. So very wrong. I don't care the benefits, they are

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
