Welcome and Overview of Transportation Group Work Plan

• Sen. Chuck Winder, Idaho State Legislature
• Bruce Agnew, Director, Cascadia Center

 
Oil and petroleum based commodities are extracted and transported to West Coast refineries and shipped to export markets through the environmentally sensitive Salish Sea. Product comes from Alaska, Alberta and North Dakota by pipeline, rail, tankers and barges. Previous PNWER Transportation Group sessions have explored rail safety. This session will expand our view to learn more about global energy developments that affect how and when the commodity travels from its source to its refinement or export.
