Vancouver Energy project
The Vancouver Energy project is a proposed crude oil transport hub in the Port of Vancouver. It had a tentative construction start date of December 2014 and was estimated to start operating in 2016. According to a study by Analysis Group Inc. (AGI), commissioned by Tesoro Savage Petroleum Terminal LLC the project was estimated to produce the equivalent of $1.6 billion in employment income during the terminal's construction and for its first 15 years of operation.[1] Critics cite safety risks and include state and local firefighters, the Vancouver City Council besides neighborhood associations, faith organizations, small businesses, tribes and environmental groups.
