Climate advocates go to court to block Tacoma gas plant By
at 10:04 am
Dueling lawyers made their opening arguments Monday in a case that could determine whether a major fossil-fuel plant opens on the Tacoma waterfront.
Opponents are challenging the go-ahead that regulators gave to a Puget Sound Energy plant that would supply liquid natural gas for cargo ships and other users at the Port of Tacoma.
Now nearly complete, the eight million gallon tank is as tall as the Tacoma Dome arena and able to store gas at -260 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fight over Tacoma s liquified-natural gas plant continues. Will permits be upheld?

Apr. 13 Attorneys made opening statements Monday in front of the Pollution Control Hearings Board about whether the board should overturn permits for the liquefied natural gas facility on the Tacoma Tideflats.
Environmental organizations and the Puyallup Tribe of Indians appealed to try to invalidate permits the Puget Sound Clean Air Agency issued for the Puget Sound Energy facility. They argue the agency underestimated the effects of the project on the climate and that changes to the design of the facility require additional review of health and safety impacts.
