Comment EI-19474
Received or sent (printed as 1/7/2013)
We adamantly oppose coal exportation from Washington state's ports. In the battle to reduce carbon emissions it makes no sense to mine and export coal for use in other countries when we have determined that it is bad for our environment in the USA. Allowing export through Washington's ports only encourages unwise mining practices in the US while increasing the risk of environmental damage caused by the transport over long distances by train. Please, oppose the exportation of coal through Washington state's port. Thank you for this opportunity to comment on this vital issue.
