I have a concern locally in my community, Union Pacific is trying to build a railroad spur to bring oil bomb trains with Alberta tar sands through our towns to the Phillips Conoco refinery in Nipomo on the Central Coast of California.

We are constantly fighting to keep coal and oil from being transported by train through the Columbia River Gorge. It seems to be a never ending battle. It's frustrating and damned scary.
