GATEWAY PACIFIC TERMINAL EIS SCOPING HEARING VOL. II COURT REPORTER: BETH DRUMMOND PROCEEDING DATE: October 27, 2012 Page 86 1 this massive amount of coal would have on the rest of the 2 world, particularly over Asia, but beyond that to the global 3 warming and the climate change that affects of all of us. 4 I've been a part of a group of spiritual leaders, 5 people of faith, from various religions who have come 6 together increasingly and focusing on the fact that we need 7 all a sense of our own spiritual connectedness with people 8 throughout the world and with the rest of creation, to give 9 attention to effects that this will have on others. 10 I think this also becomes, very central, an issue 11 of complicity and what, in fact, will be the image that this 12 area would have. 13 Certainly, our image right now is one that we are 14 concerned about the environment and about the rest of 15 creation. But having moved internationally, I'm quite aware 16 of the fact that the rest of the world is also watching us 17 and saying, "How foolish, really, are they in terms of going 18 back to possible fuel dependency"? 19 I would hope that our image would not be one of 20 continuing to go regressively when, in fact, much of the 21 rest of the world, including Asia, are developing a lot of 22 ways of sustaining creation and moving beyond fossil fuel. 23 So rather than having coal-besmudged image, I 24 would hope that we would continue to maintain that tradition 25 here in Whatcom County.
GATEWAY PACIFIC TERMINAL EIS SCOPING HEARING VOL. II COURT REPORTER: BETH DRUMMOND PROCEEDING DATE: October 27, 2012 Page 87 1 MS. STRAUSZ-CLARK: Okay. We're going to take a 2 very short break and start back at No. 51. 3 (Recess taken.) 4 MS. STRAUSZ-CLARK: 51, please state your name 5 for the record. 6 THE SPEAKER: My name is Lorraine Holcomb, and 7 I'm an educator, and a citizen of rural Bellingham, but most 8 of all, I'm a citizen of the earth. 9 And so I'd like to speak for all of the people 10 who are not able to be here to speak for themselves. 11 I'd like that the EIS scoping hearing closely 12 look at how burning the amount of coal that we would ship to 13 China will impact not only the animals, but -- which I 14 include mankind all over the world -- but also the plants, 15 how they will be affected in terms of the greenhouse gases. 16 Thank you. 17 MS. STRAUSZ-CLARK: 52. 53 and 54, you can take 18 your seat at the desk. 19 52, please state your name for the record. 20 THE SPEAKER: Thank you. My name is Michael 21 Botwin, and I have many concerns about turning Bellingham 22 from a green town, into a coal town. But I want to address 23 two specific issues, and that really is: Emergency services 24 and noise. 25 I live on Cove Road in Bellingham on the west
