The project consultants for the feasibility study are most likely to be American. The LNG terminal is most likely to be constructed by either ExxonMobil or ChevronTexaco.
Most of the money will be spent by Americans on Americans while furthering America’s strategic interests.
Whoever does the feasibility study and constructs the terminal has an upper hand in discussions over exploitation of Natural Gas.
This is business - nothing personal.
I don’t see what the problem is. (Most of the money will go back to America firms anyway).
If the Americans didn’t do it, the French, Italians, British or Chinese would jump at the opportunity.
In case any of you haven’t been playing close attention to the news, Ghana is one of Africa’s newest Oil exporters and the Chinese are all over Africa like flies on honey.
Thank you for your feedback, but you seem to be missing the point: it is not my job to provide ExxonMobil or CHevronTexaco with additional funds to make a profit, a profit for which I receive no return on my investment. Similarly, it is not the responsibility of the average cook, cleaner, teacher, pipe-fitter, hair stylist, etc, to transfer their hard-earned money to the U.S. firms that benefit from such projects.
