The Alaskan pipeline was supposed to do all this bad stuff?  What hapened?  What do we have to fear from LNG being piped to the coast and exported to another country? Relatively little.  Is there an environemtnal upside?  Much of the gas exported from this proposed terminal will go to countries that rely heavily on coal to generate electricity. When NG replaces coal greenhouse gasses are halved.   Oil and gas have been produced using "fracking," for three fourths of a century.  This word is used as a scare tactic. A farmer and 13 cows in Wisconsin recently died from methane poisoning from cow manure, a major cause of methane in America.  But, the CDC does not lisr methane in the top 15 causes of death. Every time an oil or gas project in America is delayed or cancelled, one country profits above all others. That is Putin's Russia, the environmentally dirtiest energy producer in the world. I wonder how much of a role his considerable propaganda machine plays in this anti-LNG effort?
