Kinder Morgan Drops Plans To Build Oregon Coal Export Terminal

"Terminal developer Kinder Morgan will not go forward with a proposal to export coal to Asia from the Port Westward industrial park on the Columbia River, a company spokesman said [Wednesday] morning."



"Kinder Morgan's Allen Fore attributed the decision not to seek permits for a coal export terminal to site logistics at the Port of St. Helens industrial park, not the controversy over coal.

'We looked at multiple options and different footprints, but we couldn't find one compatible with the facility we wanted to construct,' Fore said."
