Makes you wonder... is Wyden just using LNG as a political ploy to attack Sarah Palin? It's so hypocritical to whine about Alaskan LNG going to Japan (which has been going on since 1969) when there's not one LNG terminal on the West Coast and liberals like Wyden stonewall any attempt to build LNG terminals.

We have the same problem in Maine. Opposition to LNG terminals and the good paying jobs they great. Most of the opposition-from Democrats and Greens.

The last thing these religion of pseudo-science adherents want to see is the cost of fossil fuels come down and the supply go up...their dreams of sustainable energy requires the sacrifice of our standard of living to the equivalent of the Pleistocene native American's(who lived in perfect harmony with nature).

Yeah this state is a mess. Same thing with logging. They shut down all the logging and now most of the southern logging communities are going broke.

We need to use our resources and create good jobs here.

The environmentalist Marxist crap has to stop.

I think this is one of the major issue of our time. Our enemies are destroying us economically and the voting public is helping them.

Existing pipelines are capable of providing for Oregon’s natural gas needs well into the foreseeable future.
What many Oregonians, including conservative Oregonians, are objecting to is the fact that these LNG offload facilities come complete with high-pressure 3’ pipelines leading straight to California.
Let the Californians build their own LNG import facilities in California where the gas is going to be used.
DON’T CALIFORNICATE OREGON!

The amout of gas exported is trivial compared to our oil exports to the USA

the tanker comes every other onth to pick up aload for JApan.

LOcals are opposed to the export as the local gas field owner (Scots?) wants to raise the cost of gas 22% - this on top of price hikes of 45% over the last two years.
