Our friends at Columbia Riverkeeper pulled together an extraordinary group of experts and tribal leaders to learn about the potential impacts of the “Cascade Renewable Transmission” project, a proposed underwater power line in the Columbia River.
The development would be a roughly 100-mile high-voltage transmission line running underwater from the Dalles, Oregon, to Portland.
The conversation featured:
- Elaine Harvey (CRITFC Manager, Yakama Nation Tribal Member, and Columbia Riverkeeper Board Member)
- Steve McCoy (Friends of the Columbia Gorge)
- Teryn Yazdani (Staff Attorney, Columbia Riverkeeper)
