O.K. Listen up. The west passage into Passamaquoddy bay is very narrow and dangerous. lots of fog, rain wind, Tidal currents are unpredictable. Two high tides and two low tides daily. The area is a totally pristine environment. Whales, seals, eagles and the local communities are mostly fishing and tourism. This plant will be nothing but a huge eyesore and an environmental disaster. There is almost no fire, police or emergency services what so ever. If there is ever a major spill, accident or leak it all over for the local area. And for you info the ships have to pass through Canadian waters to get to Gleason cove.
See the big rush to build these terminals is all about money. First built first put into service. The first accident then the government changes the rules and regs and then building LNG plants cost more. Basically no one wants it in Maine and the indians were the last people approached. Actually they approached the LNG company. Basically they sold out the state of Maine and all its residents even its neighbors in Canada.
The LNG company will use them pollute their land and water supply and by making the Passamaquoddy people partners in LLC they won't even have any legal recourse. So again in the long run the Indians will get screwed again. if they can't see that then they need to do a little more research.
There is a reason why LLC ended up at the boarder. Nobody else wanted it. What a world we live in. I hate to see these people get screwed but I think they are going to be.

When you live in Maine near the area LNG is going there are the 2 sides but I think overall we are very poor up here. We moved from MA and love it up here because we can make it on min wage because we have no debt but it is tough. Unless a family has someone who works at the mill you are struggling. People live in houses you would think would be demolished. Houses are on the market for years with out getting sold. So although there is the controversy if LNG hires mostly local people it would be great for the economy. There is so many wildlife preservations up here it is all wildlife for mile after mile. The tidal changes shouldn't matter if that take that into account. Think of how much money goes out to repairs in a hurricane in other facilities. I do not know the ins and out of the project but I really hope it can help out the economy up here.
