SUMMARY:First Zenith Public Hearing and Rally - In Person
DESCRIPTION:URGENT UPDATE as of 2p.m. on May 12\, 2025\n \nBecause of an unsubstantiated anonymous tip about potential disruptions at tonight’s Zenith hearing\, University of Portland’s security has threatened to involve the police if any “rally” occurs outside the hearing venue. This could include holding signs\, chanting\, or other unspecified behavior. \nWe hope that you will still attend this important public hearing on Zenith—but we want you to understand the risks. This is our one chance to show up in person and let DEQ see the strength of the opposition to Zenith’s proposal. DEQ will share information about the draft air quality permit\, answer questions\, and accept verbal comments.   \nMonday\, May 12\, Public Hearing from 6:30 – 9:00 p.m.\nAttend in person: Buckley Center Auditorium\, University of Portland\, 5000 N Willamette Blvd.\, Portland \nCan’t make it in person? Register to join online via Zoom  \nJoin via phone by calling 253-215-8782\nWebinar ID: 863 5360 2272\nPasscode: 746447 when prompted.

SUMMARY:PDX Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Come watch Barbara Bernstein’s latest film\, “Chasing Chimeras: The Lure of Deceptive Climate Solutions.”\nCinema 21\, 616 NW 21st Ave\, Portland\nSunday\, April 27\, 2025\, at 4 PM \n\n \n\nPurchase Tickets Here\n\n\n“Chasing Chimeras: The Lure of Deceptive Climate Solutions” tells stories of people living in the crosshairs of fossil fuel industry proposals\, working to expose the dangers that these projects pose to their lives\, homes\, communities\, and the planet. \nThe documentary shows how city\, state and federal governments and regulatory agencies are swayed by the fossil fuel industry’s self-promotion as purveyors of clean\, low-carbon energy\, and scrutinizes how state and federal programs promote and fund renewable diesel\, biogas and hydrogen development\, while disincentivizing the adoption of proven climate solutions. \nAfter the screening there will be a panel discussion with the filmmaker and people featured in the film.

SUMMARY:Columbia Riverkeeper at the Public Interest Environmental Law Conference (PIELC)
DESCRIPTION:Columbia Riverkeeper is headed to PIELC! Find us at the following panels: \nGreenwashing on the Columbia River: Stopping the NEXT Refinery \n\nA company called NEXT wants to build a massive “renewable” diesel refinery on the Columbia River. It’s a dirty deal for climate\, salmon\, and local farmers. Come learn from 4 attorneys about the legal and grassroots tactics used to fight the refinery’s development at the local\, state\, and federal levels.\n\nNukes across the Columbia? Small Modular Nuclear Reactors in Washington to Power Oregon’s Data Centers \n\nThis panel will address the Big Tech surge to develop small modular nuclear reactors to meet the voracious energy demands of data centers\, AI\, crypto-currencies and cloud computing. The plan: build SMNRs in the Hanford vicinity of Washington to power data centers in Oregon. This would handily circumvent the 1980 voter-mandated law which bars new nuclear plant construction within Oregon without a voter reversal and the establishment of a federally licensed waste repository. Discussion will delve into the plan\, treaty rights\, economic and safety issues associated with SMNRs and rationality of feeding AI’s extreme energy appetite.\n\nConference: February 28-March 2\, 2025 \nUniversity of Oregon campus\, Eugene\, OR \nFor more information\, please visit https://www.pielc.org/

SUMMARY:Come Celebrate! DEQ Cancels Zenith Hearings!
DESCRIPTION:Big news: you spoke up and it worked! The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) just paused the air permitting process for Zenith Energy and canceled two public hearings scheduled for Nov. 19 and Dec. 4.\n  \nThe change in plans is due to findings from DEQ’s unannounced inspection of Zenith’s facility on Nov. 13. The DEQ’s inspection focused on the McCall Oil dock\, which Zenith illegally incorporated in 2021 to expand its operations—one of Zenith’s Legacy of Violations and Lies. According to an Oregonian article\, the DEQ’s Air Quality Permit Manager Lisa Ball explained the inspection was prompted by questions from community members about Zenith’s operations that the DEQ couldn’t answer. Ball stated\, “This is a complete result of the public process. We’re very proud of our community for bringing questions up that pushed us to investigate further.” \n  \nIn the News:\nAdvocates “Cautiously Optimistic” About DEQ Decision to Delay Zenith Air Quality Permit\, Portland Mercury\, November 14\, 2024 \nState puts hold on Zenith Energy’s controversial air permit process in surprise move\, Oregonian\, November 14\, 2024\n \nThis is not the end of the Zenith saga\, but is a clear sign that we have the attention of regulators.\n\n \nCome Celebrate \nThink you have nothing to do on 11/19 since the hearing was canceled? Think again! Join us for “Zenith On The Ropes\,” a moment to come together\, take a deep breath\, and celebrate.  \nTuesday\, November 19th AT 6:00 p.m.\n350PDX Workspace\, 3639 N Mississippi Avenue MAP \nMusic. Speakers. Pizza. People. Learn about what this cancellation may mean for our region and Zenith.

SUMMARY:Tell DEQ to Reject Refinery in Estuary
DESCRIPTION:Oregon just opened a public comment period on NEXT Renewable Fuels’ proposal to build a massive diesel refinery in the Columbia River Estuary. The refinery would be among the largest of its kind in America and one of the top greenhouse gas polluters in Oregon.  \nMany local residents and farmers who rely on clean water oppose the project. Oregon should listen to their concerns\, but it has ignored them so far. \nTuesday\, Oct. 8\, 2024\, from 6 to 8 p.m. \nRSVP via Columbia Riverkeeper’s site to get reminders about the hearing. \n \n\nDon’t want to RSVP? Use this link to attend the virtual public hearing. \n
