Waddahey, this is a political NG, that sometimes mentions boats .....
Question. There are a number of proposals to create LNG terminals in
various areas of the country, which will/may impact the boating
public..... any thoughts?

====================

Yes. My thinking is that they should be kept away from metro areas
and away from major boating centers. They are too dangerous for a
populated region, and the required security zones and procedures would
make them a major pain to pleasure boaters. Perhaps off shore
unloading platforms with underwater pipes going inland?

The technology to do that surely exists and it solves some of the
issues.


My understanding is that the Aussie proposal is exactly that for
california, but alas even before the preliminaries the greenies are
against it, just as they are against almost everything, except giving up
"their" use of energy of course, because they get theirs from the
fairies at the bottom of the garden.

LOL!!
