Jordan Cove Up For Comment Again

Construction on an earlier pipeline.

It's been a long odyssey for the Jordan Cove LNG (liquefied natural gas) project proposed for the Oregon Coast near North Bend. 

The plan, resurrected after an earlier federal denial, requires a pipeline crossing the region from North Bend to the Klamath Falls area.

The Army Corps of Engineers is also accepting comments.

Rogue Climate is one of several groups opposing the permit and the project.  The group's Sarah Westover visits.
