Dear CEI Hub Policy Project Team,
I am writing to comment on the CEI Hub Discussion Draft. The current proposals do not adequately address the grave risks to our community, our river, and our climate.
I strongly oppose Alternatives 1, 2, and 3. Allowing any expansion of fuel storage capacity in a known liquefaction zone is irresponsible and ignores the clear scientific warnings.
Alternative 4 is the only viable path forward because it begins to reduce the existing danger. However, the proposed 17% drawdown by 2035 is insufficient. We need a much more aggressive and scientifically-grounded plan to reduce fuel storage capacity as quickly as possible.
This is a historic decision that would literally shape the future of this city for better or worse. Do not let corporate influence dictate a plan that puts our community at risk. I urge you to strengthen Alternative 4 into a policy that truly centers community safety and creates a legacy of resilience for Portland.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
