Regular County Council Meeting, 7/26/2016, Page 5
1 Browne read the following statement:
2
3 I've been concerned that some people across the political spectrum believe
4 that the County government has broad powers to regulate international trade,
5 and the truth is we don't. Our powers are actually very limited, and we can't
6 override State or federal law. We also can't take away an existing permit for
7 any facility of any nature in the county. The latest version of this proposal
8 has been revised from the original. The previous versions asked to ban all
9 fossil fuel exports. Which, because it wasn't defined by definition, it included
10 refined and unrefined fossil fuel exports. Now this would have shut down
11 Cherry Point, because Cherry Point is already a significant exporter of fossil
12 fuels. It is the principal supplier, I think maybe the only supplier, of jet fuel
13 to the City of Vancouver, for example. It supplies jet fuel to SeaTac. It
14 provides jet fuel down into Oregon. It also provides calcine coke around the
15 world. So to propose that we stop them from exporting fossil fuels would
16 have, in fact, created or certainly created the fear amongst the people out
17 there, and the contractors, that those famllles would lose their source of
18 income. The other reason I was concerned about that is, it wouldn't have
19 changed the demand for those products. What it simply would have done
20 was shifted the production of those products overseas into markets where the
21 environmental controls are much less regulated. We would have seen an
22 increase in fossil fuel shipping in Puget Sound, because places like Vancouver
23 would have been forced to buy their jet fuel from places like Asia, and they
24 come through Puget Sound and the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which would
25 expose Whatcom County to the same risk as or greater risk, because it would
26 have increased the tanker traffic. I'd much rather see fossil fuels, if we have
27 to use them, refined on U.S. soil by U.S. workers, under U.S. environmental
28 controls with a minimum of transportation necessary to get them to market. I
29 want to make it clear. I'm also a very strong believer in climate change, and
30 I'm a very strong believer it is a manmade problem. I make no bones about
31 that. I believe we're going to find common ground in how we deal with these
32 issues, but we have to listen and work together as a community. For that
33 reason, I`m supporting pushing this to the Planning Commission for a full
34 public hearing and full public involvement.
35
36 Sidhu stated he agrees with Councilmember Browne. He read the following
37 statement:
38
39 Let me briefly state my background. I'm an engineer, and I worked in the
40 petroleum industry for more than 20 years. My son is an engineer at BP
41 Cherry Point for the past eight years. I understand the petroleum industry, its
42 place in our economy, and its place in our community. For the past several
43 weeks, we've listened to arguments like, "are you for petroleum, or are you
44 against it ?" or "are you for saving the environment, or are you against it." As
45 I analyze these arguments from both sides, I can clearly see that the issue is
46 not petroleum versus environment. It is all about our need for energy to
47 sustain our lifestyle. Energy can come from running water, wood, coal,
48 petroleum, nuclear, sun, wind, or tidal waves, or other forms. We as a
49 society need to choose what forms of energy are best for our use, for our
50 environment, for sustainability, and affordability. The best form of energy,
51 which is most practical and efficient to use as we know of today, is electricity,
52 which can be produced from any fuel, like running water, like wood, coal,
53 petroleum, nuclear, sun, wind, or tidal waves. And, I just want to remind
Regular County Council Meeting, 7/26/2016, Page 6
1 you, electricity, as we know, is just about 100 years old. For many centuries,
2 we used running water and wood as a resource for energy, and then came the
3 coal to make steam, and steam power was the king. Then we discovered
4 electricity. Later, about a century ago, petroleum came along and opened
5 many new possibilities for humans to use energy. And then we discovered
6 nuclear energy. Now we have learned how to harness the energy from sun,
7 wind, and tidal waves, which do not pollute the air we breathe, the water we
8 drink, and the land we grow our food on. I fail to understand what is the
9 harm in taking steps to transition to better options as humans have done
10 from time -to -time for the sake of future generations. To me, petroleum is a
11 valuable resource, but it is limited in its availability. This is something which
12 will be part of our energy mix for many decades. Wouldn't it be smart to use
13 this limited resource wisely and sparingly, so we can benefit for it most and
14 for the longest time? How do we use petroleum? We take it out of the
15 ground, we clean it, and burn it away, like there's no tomorrow. We actually
16 go to wars to get more of it so we can burn it even faster. How come we
17 stopped using wood as a fuel? Because we learned better ways to use wood.
18 It is stupid to cut forest and burn it away, one tree at a time, much faster
19 than we can grow them. We learned that half of our lungs are hanging out
20 there on the trees, because we breathe what trees give out. Why don't we
21 use nuclear energy? Because we saw what happened at Three Mile Island,
22 Chernobyl, and Fukushima. We learned our lesson. I'm not against
23 petroleum. I'm against irresponsible use of a valuable, God -given resource
24 by burning it away like there is no tomorrow. I believe petroleum should be
25 $500 a barrel. This product will thrive economically at this price by using it
26 sparingly to make things we cannot otherwise make. We will extend the life
27 of this resource. What does it matter what fuel my car uses? All I need is
28 mobility. If Scotty can beam me up all the time, I don't even need a car,
29 nevermind the fuel. It is ridiculous to argue that petroleum is the only fuel to
30 use for our cars. All we need is something which is affordable, which does
31 not pollute our air, our water, and our land. I think petroleum does not quite
32 fit this bill. What's wrong with this picture? We all have our cars, which run
33 on electricity, but its seats, body, and tires are made from petroleum. Let us
34 be smart to use the God -given bounties on our planet. I'm not against
35 industry at Cherry Point. I'm for a time -bound transition to better energy
36 alternatives available to us. We must create and develop better options for
37 our kids and grandkids and for their kids and grandkids. How do we do that?
38 Certainly not putting our head in the sand and ignoring all the real
39 possibilities in front of us. The only constant in life is change. Let's make this
40 change for the better. The changes proposed by Councilmember Weimer
41 deserve a conversation. Let us get to the facts and cut out the emotions and
42 political scores. We need to hear a constructive discussion from the industry
43 and the residents alike, on both sides. Yes, I agree, there is a good case to
44 devise the wording proposed for the Cherry Point UGA to reflect the reality on
45 the ground and the short -term versus long -term impacts on our community,
46 our state, and our country. Thank you.
47
48 Councilmembers continued to discuss how to forward amendments to the Planning
49 Commission.
