The proponents of more LNG here in South Texas assure us that LNG does not explode. It rather disperses into a cloud which hovers over the water and will dissipate but not explode. Maybe we will get to see with our own eyes that LNG is not as safe as they claim it is.

I'm happy to report that Port Isabel, TX government and a few other towns in the area have voted to REJECT a tax abatement for another LNG plant not yet built. This does not mean that the LNG plant will not be built, just that, if it is built, there will be no tax abatement.

I have long held that, "If your company or product destroys the environment, you should at least pay full price, and full taxes."
