(that’s what she told the Sierra club). The truth about the coal ports and terminals is that new ports cannot be built without government money, yours and mine, because sub-bituminous coal only sells for $12.35 / ton and costs more to ship than it is worth. A new coal port will be like another Solyndra or Shepherds Flat wind farm, but Gregoire is behind it all the way, even if it is an environmental disaster for her home state.
