Oakland’s Controversial Coal Export Terminal Clears Legal Hurdles and Moves Forward
The developer of the Oakland project has overcome all legal hurdles against the city and is moving forward with construction. This development could have significant implications for President Donald Trump's plans to revitalize the coal industry in the West.
The current proposal in Oakland is a scaled-back version of previous plans, aiming to build an export terminal on a decommissioned Army base. Despite earlier setbacks, with at least eight similar projects failing due to financial, legal, and public opposition, the developer has won all legal challenges and is proceeding.
Emily Arthun, CEO of American Coal Council, has expressed confidence in the project's progress. She noted that there is demand in overseas markets for U.S. coal, suggesting potential success for the Oakland coal export terminal.
