SW: →Port of Coos Bay in Oregon considers coal exports: section added
Bishop stated the arrival of one coal train per day would create 100 ship calls per year. However, coal exports would bring too many ships for the cargo terminal to handle, stated Bishop. "If any coal terminal is developed in Coos Bay, it would have to be a stand-alone terminal."<ref>[http://theworldlink.com/news/local/article_16869cbf-f325-54f1-920a-52778a5889e8.html "CB could become coal port again"] Gail Elber, ''The World'', July 23, 2011.</ref>
In August 2012 Democratic Rep. Peter DeFazio said he has few qualms about shipping coal to Asia through the Port of Coos Bay.
Rep. Peter DeFazio said that trying to block plans to ship coal to Asia won't stop countries like South Korea from burning coal to produce electricity. He added that free trade agreements make it illegal for the U.S. to block coal exports to South Korea.<ref>[http://www.oregonlive.com/environment/index.ssf/2012/08/shipping_coal_to_asia_from_coo.html "Shipping coal to Asia from Coos Bay sounds good to Peter DeFazio" Associated Press, August 17, 2012.</ref>
