Rumble On The River Community Forums bring together expert voices to detail the hazards of the Critical Energy Infrastructure Hub, which stores 90% of Oregon’s fuel within Portland’s city limits. The CEI Hub, a 6-mile stretch of aging tank farms, stands on a seismic liquefaction zone. The predicted event of a Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake has the potential for a Deepwater Horizon level spill on Portland’s riverfront. Zenith Energy’s oil transporting and storage operations lie within the CEI Hub. Rumbles have addressed Columbia & Willamette River ecosystems, floodplain resilience, salmon restoration, urban forests, shade equity, the heat dome phenomenon, carbon offsets, hydrogen and wood pellet biomass. Rumble forums are always free.
