Re Quoddy Bay LNG abusing State process

Living in the Hazard Zones

How Downeast LNG and Quoddy Bay LNG (and latecomer Calais LNG) would violate the LNG industry's own standards by subjecting local populations — in Maine, Sipayik, and New Brunswick — to hazards from potential LNG releases

Read about the Hazard Zones

Learn the Hazards

The Society of International Gas Terminal and Tanker Operators (SIGTTO) is the de facto world authority on LNG safe practices. Their publication, "Site Selection and Design for LNG Ports and Jetties," warns against siting LNG terminals where LNG vapors from a release or spill could affect civilian populations. The proposed local LNG projects violate that standard — along with dozens of others.

Federal Delegation STILL Won't Answer

US Sen. Olympia Snowe;
US Sen. Susan Collins;
US Rep. Mike Michaud; and
US Rep. Tom Allen…

1.

 Continue to ignore our request for an answer to the question: “Do you, or do you not, support LNG terminals in Passamaquoddy Bay?”

2.

 Ignore the LNG industry's own safety standards: “Site Selection and Design for LNG Ports and Jetties,” by the Society of International Gas Terminal and Tanker Operators (SIGTTO).

Congressman Tom Allen continues to spam SPB

2008 May 21

Since US Rep. Tom Allen won't answer our questions regarding his stand on the proposed LNG projects in Passamaquoddy Bay — because we "aren't his constituency" — we take particular offense at his continuing to send us junk email, even after we requested he stop!

After we first requested that Allen stop spamming us, he sent us a letter via post, stating that it's too bad we aren't interested in issues he's interested in — and then he continued to spam us.

The "Can Spam Act" of 2003 (Congressman Allen voted in favor) excludes non-commercial email from legal sanctions. Politicians like Allen knew they'd want to spam the public with impunity.

When will Congressman Allen observe common courtesy and stop spamming us?

Arthur Gelber, of Calais LNG Project Company (formerly, "BP Consulting," "St. Croix Consulting," "St. Croix Development," "Calais LNG," "Northeast Energy," and "Calais Maine LNG Import Terminal"), displaying his disingenuous "good neighbor" policy by expecting Canadians to accept economic, health, and safety risks from his poorly-sited project in Maine —

"We're hopeful the Canadians will be good neighbors. … We hope that as neighbors in the spirit of cooperation, that we can find common ground between what we're doing and what they're doing. We have interests, they have interests. There are things that they want to do that involve us as there are things we want to do that involve them."

  • Sen. Olympia Snowe & Sen. Susan Collins still refuse to co-sponsor this bill. Both senators have written their constituents about how they voted against FERC-superior authority above states in LNG terminal siting. Sen. Collins even put into writing that LNG terminal siting isn't in her realm of responsibilities; that it's not a federal, but a local matter! FERC authority is a federal matter, not a local one. Let Sen. Collins and Sen. Snowe that you want them to co-sponsor this bill. Contact them now!

    Sen. Collins has it backwards — LNG terminal siting is a federal matter, with authority resting with FERC; S. 2822 would return LNG siting authority to the states.
