Why don't they put the LNG terminal in Japan and save shipping both ways?

How you doing Kirk?

Now, isn't that where Northern Star Natural Gas/Bradwood is supposed to be getting their clients LNG from...Those other Pacific Rim Nations?

And those Pacific Rim Nations and Japan are buying Natural Gas from us?

Now, how the hell dioes that work?

there's a lot of natural gas inland in the northwest-more than we can use. Might was well let all those farmers in the Columbia Basin cash in on the leases they've got and start exporting that crap to eastern Asia

I've had some setbacks but still kicking.

I watched the CNN video on LNG with a ship going into Boston Harbor and if they don't like it neither will we. If it must go in how about moving it from Bradwood to Bugby Hole?

I'm working on a special water wheel patented in 1938 and several times since. Depending on God's grace it'll either work or not before year end.

You obviously have plenty of running water don't you Kirk?

River/Stream current water turbines are really attrative in limited applications like a rural/farm property and a Dairy is it your family owns?

I say if you can build it put it to work.

You want to see what USCG Standards will be put upon us here on the Lower Columbia River just for Bradwood, 2.5 roundtrips a week, go read the discussion on this site for "The USCG Water Suitability Report".

McCain going to be your man this election?
