Environmental Concerns Surrounding California's LNG Supply from Sakhalin Island

The proposed LNG supply from Sakhalin Island raises significant environmental concerns. The Western Pacific Gray Whale population is critically endangered, with fewer than 100 remaining. Offshore drilling poses risks through noise pollution, drilling muds, and potential oil spills, while pipeline crossings threaten salmon survival. Additionally, waste dumping jeopardizes local fisheries in Aniva Bay. Indigenous protests and social unrest in Sakhalin highlight the opposition to LNG infrastructure. The pipeline connecting Coos Bay LNG terminal to California aims to serve PG&E customers, but faces local resistance.
