Alternative is burning more coal in remote states and sending the electricity generated over long lossy wires to create heat here. Much better for environment to burn the lowest carbon fuel at the point where heat is needed.

Absolutely. We don't need to be thrown into the dark ages over a fake manmade climate crisis. We can step outside our homes and see that their is no crisis. Weather changes, it always has. I'm fed up with the anti human narrative that has become so popular over the last few decades.

Reality is that we will continue to use natural gas for the foreseeable future, regardless of the efforts to force the use of all electricity.

Natural Gas is one of the cleanest fuel , with no environment impact. And with the population growing , we need this . It's cheaper then wind power and solar. Environmentalists...get real and see the light, this means Sen. Merkley also. We don't need to go backwards in in progress.

Natural gas is much cleaner than coal and will be needed to power the electrical generating plants that will be required for the additional electricity consumed by charging all the electric cars we will be forced to drive!

Yes absolutely. We also need to get rid of all oil drilling restrictions and be oil independent, instead of depending on out enemies for oil, Instead of buying oil from our enemies we should be selling oil to our allies. The left is making this country weak,

Natural gas is a clean and viable energy source and building this pipeline is just common sense.

Tired of the Waco Libs destroying Oregon. This will create jobs and benefit everyone. Natural gas is one of the cleanest burning fuel and very abundant. The fake climate activist will try to stop it and Salem will probably come up with a law Banning its use in Oregon. Wind & Solar are a failure,

Burning fossil fuels is very unhealthy for humans and all living things. Piping gas is dangerous since pipes leak the toxic contents, polluting the environment. Saving money by continuing to use natural gas instead of using clean energy is poor reasoning. Spend that money to provide clean energy!

Didn't they say the gas is going to Cali? Why?

Because California can't keep their electric grid going without it. By piping it in they can say "we do not produce or support drilling for Natural gas" Not lies but Not the truth either... That's Socialist Democrat logic, hide the truth and keep public in the dark.

Biden has no respect for his citizens. He will do whatever he wants. So far he has done nothing for us, he's ruined our country. Put us in a debt that we will never get out of. He will bleed us dry. Having this natural gas thru Oregon is so wrong. So very wrong. I don't care the benefits, they are

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
