Tesoro Project Opposed by Stand Up to Oil
The Tesoro project has been opposed from its earliest days by a growing coalition of groups and individuals from across Washington and Oregon, called Stand Up to Oil.
Dan Serres is the conservation director for Columbia Riverkeeper, a group that has spearheaded action by coalitions opposing other energy projects along the river, including liquefied natural gas terminals, coal and oil train proposals and activity at the Hanford nuclear site.
He told KBOO about the coalition’s early days and its ongoing strategy.
It isn’t just environmental groups who have taken up the coalition’s call to pack hearings and flood Inslee’s mailbox.
The group’s framing of the issue as a matter of safety and bad economics has also drawn in a variety of other interests that don’t normally agree with each other.
