Jordan Cove Files with FERC to Export LNG Out from Coos Bay, OR The probable link between the Ruby Pipeline bringing natural gas to Malin, OR where the proposed Pacific Connector pipeline would meet from Coos Bay, OR was too much of a financial opportunity for Jordan Cove Corp's marketing rep Bob Braddock to pass up.
