- Robert Peacock claims Irving Oil’s LNG project was started at around the same time as Downeast LNG, but that the US process takes too long. Peacock got it wrong: The Canaport LNG project began in 2001, while Downeast LNG began in 2004.

- James Morrell believes Maine BEP will hold Robbinston LNG (sic; Downeast LNG) to its word to protect the environment.
- Gerald Morrison claims LNG opponents “like to pretend large ships have never been a cultural or historical part of this area.” He agrees Downeast LNG would impact weir fishing at Mill Cove, but that his family will be compensated for any loss. He ridicules SPB’s previous statement that most supporters of the LNG projects do not live in the Federal Hazard Zones. He also likens the LNG ship Hazard Zones to a propane truck passing his house.
