Coal Terminal and Coal Trains
Please see beyond the "jobs for WA" PR of the corporation and "income for Whatcom County". There is little there to be encouraging and much more important issues to consider for the long term health of the communities involved,
Why is this important?
The Coal terminal in Bellingham, AND the coal trains that impact the whole WA State coast are a short term money-maker for a corporation at the expense of the health, environment, job security and air and water quality of the entire coast and islands (huge coal ships going through). There is no long-term benefit to anyone in WA State.
