The executive says he’s convened officials across the region to raise awareness about the risks of oil and coal transportation as part of the Safe Energy Leadership Alliance (SELA).
“We must be honest about the impacts of coal & oil terminals on public safety, the region’s economy, & the natural environment,” Constantine tweeted. “I look forward to working with local, state, and tribal leaders to address this issue.”
Constantine added that residents in the Pacific Northwest can’t grow complacent about the “danger of these sorts of human-made disasters.”
