he world is hungry for LNG and it represents a major opportunity in terms of evening out our trade imbalance. But thanks to the dedicated efforts of green energy warriors and Oregon politicians, yet another refusal of a construction permit seems to have been the final straw for The Oregon LNG company and they’ve pulled the plug on the entire project. (The Oregonian)
“It didn’t have a lot of public support, I’ll put it that way,” Warrenton City Commissioner Henry Balensifer III said Friday…
Under Oregon LNG’s plan, an 87-mile pipeline would have shuttled Canadian natural gas from Woodland, Wash., to the Warrenton terminal, where it would await export to Asia.
But Oregon LNG lacked support from key elected officials whose votes were needed to move forward. Clatsop County commissioners voted unanimously to reject the application to build the terminal, a decision later upheld by the Land Use Board of Appeals.
U.S. Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Oregon, and state Sen. Betsy Johnson, D-Scappoose, had also come out against the project.
Wyden said he was “relieved” to hear the project would not move forward. Yes, Oregon residents must be proud that they elected Ron Wyden as their Senator at this point. He’s “relieved” that the project will be going elsewhere, never to darken the doorway of his state’s residents again.
But what is the loss of the LNG terminal taking with it? Local estimates indicate that the project would have produced more than 2,000 construction jobs spanning a period of several years and at least 150 full time, permanent jobs for workers at the plant after that.

Liberalnomics at work again.
As the economic conditions worsen for America this sort of anti-progress, anti-industry suicide is going to get politicians hung.
Why create more jobs when we can all work at Starbux and Whole Foods for 15 an hour?
Isn’t Marxism wonderful.
Pray America wakes
“The I got mine and the hell with you” Lefty stupids.

Hey but we’ll get max subsidies for our Obamacare!
When will the people of this country ever learn. Everyone complains they are worried about the future of the economy and the future of their own employment. Yet the keep electing and re-electing job killing Democrats.
I feel bad for so many Oregonians. Most areas of the sate are pretty conservative but the huge population center in Portland with their green people, LGTB’s and old silver back hippies tilts the state left.
Wyden needs to retire.

We could eliminate unemployment if we had a law that required a Starbucks on every block of every city in the US.
I’m thinking of starting a new line a discount stores called “MAR-X” , and a new line of cheap motels called “STAL-IN”.

I only recently learned that Sperm Whale oil was used for lighting. Lots of it. From lots of whales.
Until petroleum.
I was sad for the whales. Meanwhile Sperm Whale oil is real good for lots of other stuff, if there was any left.
I see what you did there... LOL !
