Mayor Correia Gives Up the Fight

Months ago, my former blog colleague, FRC, and I got into an argument over differing translations of what Bob Correia said, at a meeting of the Coalition for the Responsible Siting of LNG organization. FRC thought Bob said "I will do everything humanly possible to stop LNG." I thought Bob said, "I will do everything minimally possible to stop LNG." It is very difficult to translate Bob Correia speak, but it turns out I was right (sorry FRC).

At Bob Correia's Thursday night "neighborhood forum," a citizen asked Bob if he was committed to the fight against LNG at Weaver's Cove. Bob noted that the city of Fall River can no longer afford to pay the lawyers to fight it and that he has turned the issue over to our part time assistant corporation counsel, John Coughlin. Mayor Correia, who has accepted campaign contributions from Hess representatives in the past, is doing "everything minimally possible" to stop the siting of LNG at Weaver's Cove.

This was the first time I heard that Bob took away the funding to fight LNG...did anyone else know about this?

Italy 6/29: LNG "Inferno"

A freight train derailed in the middle of a small Italian town and two cars filled with liquefied natural gas exploded, setting off an inferno that killed at least six people and injured more than 30, officials said Tuesday.

Video of the explosion

About 300 emergency workers are trying to stop the blaze spreading to other train wagons. Specialist personnel used to tackling chemical fires are being dispatched from across the country.

Does anyone have information on the 2 all day meetings that Hess has had with the Coast Guard this past week? Rumor is that the Coast Guard may be getting ready to flip flop.

Down with LNG

LNG Action Alert from Green Futures

URGENT ACTION ALERT FOR NARRAGANSETT BAY, MOUNT HOPE BAY, TAUNTON RIVER - Pelletier endorses flawed LNG project At last evening's Fall River City Council Meeting, March 10, Councilor Leo Pelletier stated that due to the dire economic straits "we need the Weaver's Cove LNG project," here in Fall River and Somerset, because "it will pay four million dollars in taxes." He also said, "Maybe they will give us four million dollars in advance ...before the project is built." Leo also mentioned all of the construction jobs that the project would provide and also the "spin-off" jobs. He seemed fixated on the four million dollar figure and mentioned it numerous times. It appears Hess Weaver's Cove has gotten to Leo.

PLEASE CALL/WRITE LEO AND HAVE OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS, FRIENDS, NEIGHBORS, ETC. CALL/WRITE HIM TOO. Tell Leo how disappointed you are in him. After six years of fighting this LNG monster we are very close to killing it once and for all. This is not the time to give up!

Video: Leo gives in to LNG

Leo "LNG truout the country; we have 96 truout the country. We have 43 in New England."

Me This is an example that clearly indicates his incredible misunderstanding of the issue/buying into Hess-LNG spin. The Weaver's Cove proposal is for an LNG terminal. There are not 96 in the U.S., there are eight. But he does say he isn't good with uhritmuhtic.
