LNG port may be built at Passamaquoddy Reservation in Maine
Last time I remember there was a real fight over the Pittston refinery they wanted in Eastport, which was a really bad place for it because of tides and smog across the border to Campobello Island, the "Quoddy Tides" reported back in the 1970's. Of course they once were going to build a tidal-power facility at Point Pleasant is it? "Half Moon" a smaller project got built I thought I read. I read also they have solar power out where the Passamaquoddy tribal council meets, on the end of a wharf. Heard some other story too, they learned how to deep water fish from Grand Mananers, one my mother Adelaide's cousin Nolan a "skunkwahagen" brother or something. They used to sell baskets down at Indian beach and I heard an occasional game of baseball was played, maybe in North Head?
We have a proposal in Long Island Sound for one of those deep water LNG ports. Some have objected to the cost of armed escort under Homeland Security ($50,000 a delivery) others in the Gulf of Mexico to the process, i.e., it has to be warmed up, with local water, from it's liquid state to a gas to be delivered, and raises the water temperature around the ship enough perhaps to hurt the fish, etc. I think they call it "Broadwater" or something, probably why.
The Russians can deliver in 12 or 13 days LNG to the west coast, I read and they're shopping for a terminal in California or Mexico. Interesting development. I thought the next big issue would be petro piped from off Sable Island, once called "the ship graveyard of the Atlantic" but I didn't know it means "sand" in French back then, where the Labrador and Gulfstream currents meet. Talk about fog!
