said the imported fuel won't increase pollution if it is mixed with an inert gas such as hydrogen, which some cities on the East Coast are already doing.

There are several mistakes in this writeup. LNG is liquefied methane. One adds nitrogen to lower the heating value to about 1000 btu/ft3. That's essentially the same as pipeline natural gas.

Adding hydrogen? Pop!!

What is more stupid than LNG?

If we find more ways to use up all the natural gas then what will become of the infrastructure for us to heat our homes with it, etc.?

It takes energy to convert gas into LNG and back and this is a dead loss.

This may be another case like the snaildarter and porkbarrel dam projects: a stupid reason to stop a bad idea.
