I have attended every meeting. (questioning everything I can)
A "LNG spill" effects the ozone and should not effect the coast line. The cooling system is 40 feet below the surface and (according to a marine scientist) does not affect any larvae (fish eggs), as larvae contains oil which causes the larvae to float. The cooling problems are solved by the gulfstream being able to disapate the heated water very fast. Probably faster than any other ship they have operating.
My biggest concerns is the closure area the US Coast Gaurd will put around the shps. (the USCG has not yet released thier recommendation) LNG is only asking for 1000' but with the gulfstream and all the yacht & ship traffic, i am worried about the navigation problems that could occur.
I wasn't real happy that this is getting jammed down our throats. But when the Governor says he wants FPL to find new Energy and these guys suddenly appear, you know that we are in trouble.
