Voices Of Coal: Columbia River Pilot

This week we’re bringing you our special EarthFix series, "Voices of Coal."

Each day we'll hear from someone with a personal stake in the Northwest's debate over coal export terminals.

Today we take a ride on the Columbia with river pilot Anne McIntyre. It’s her job to take over the navigation of ocean-going vessels when they’re in the river. Those ships could be used to transport coal down the Columbia.
