Washington, DC \u2013 Hoy, el senador estadounidense de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n despu\u00e9s de que la Comisi\u00f3n Federal Reguladora de Energ\u00eda (FERC) aprobara la propuesta de TC Energy para una importante expansi\u00f3n de la infraestructura de gas metano en el noroeste del Pac\u00edfico:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cLa decisi\u00f3n de hoy de la Comisi\u00f3n Federal Reguladora de Energ\u00eda de aprobar el oleoducto GTN Xpress es indignante. Seg\u00fan el propio an\u00e1lisis de la FERC, la ampliaci\u00f3n del oleoducto causar\u00e1 $8.8 mil millones en da\u00f1os y contribuir\u00e1 con 1,9 millones de toneladas m\u00e9tricas de carbono por a\u00f1o en contaminaci\u00f3n al noroeste del Pac\u00edfico. Esto equivale a a\u00f1adir a las carreteras 644.000 autom\u00f3viles propulsados por gasolina cada a\u00f1o. Y, por supuesto, esas cifras son enga\u00f1osamente bajas porque la FERC minimiza sistem\u00e1ticamente los efectos del caos clim\u00e1tico de los proyectos de gas f\u00f3sil.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cPeor a\u00fan, seis senadores, dos gobernadores y tres fiscales generales le han dejado muy claro a la FERC que el GTN Xpress socavar\u00e1 las leyes clim\u00e1ticas de la costa oeste al agregar capacidad en un momento en que nuestros estados exigen una reducci\u00f3n gradual del gas f\u00f3sil. No hay necesidad de ampliar GTN Xpress porque estamos comprometidos a alejarnos del gas f\u00f3sil. Y la FERC est\u00e1 forzando la entrada de gas f\u00f3sil en nuestros estados para que una empresa extranjera pueda ganar dinero vendiendo m\u00e1s gas f\u00f3sil canadiense fracturado.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cDesafortunadamente, la aprobaci\u00f3n de la FERC no es una sorpresa porque la Comisi\u00f3n est\u00e1 capturada por la industria de los combustibles f\u00f3siles. No hay otra explicaci\u00f3n de c\u00f3mo la FERC pudo aprobar m\u00e1s de 99% de los proyectos de combustibles f\u00f3siles que revisa ante la cat\u00e1strofe clim\u00e1tica. La FERC necesita una reforma fundamental.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cLa decisi\u00f3n de hoy debe ser una llamada de atenci\u00f3n para todos los que se preocupan por nuestro clima. La FERC puede ser una agencia federal oscura para la mayor\u00eda de la gente, pero hay decisiones importantes en el horizonte en la FERC que determinar\u00e1n si el mundo cumple con sus objetivos clim\u00e1ticos. Con proyectos como la terminal de exportaci\u00f3n de GNL Calcasieu Pass 2 en el horizonte, en este momento las se\u00f1ales no son buenas\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Merkley se ha opuesto implacablemente a la expansi\u00f3n del oleoducto GTN Xpress. Esta semana lider\u00f3 a los senadores de la costa oeste al advertir a la FERC que no aprobara el expansi\u00f3n de tuber\u00edas defectuosa y no deseada<\/a>, y letras previamente lideradas que resaltan c\u00f3mo la expansi\u00f3n propuesta no es de inter\u00e9s p\u00fablico<\/a> y c\u00f3mo TC Energy no ha podido demostrar la necesidad adecuada del proyecto<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
