Oregon LNG/Calpine: A Look Back. How Easily We Forget




Remember November, 2004, The big announcement that Calpine Energy Group had signed, what many thought was a ridiculous piece of paper calle d a potential 65 year irrevokeable lease with The Port of Astoria?




Shortly after, Martin Nygaard announced his own possible deal for an LNG Facility on historic Tansey Point he is somehow, still, leasing from The City of Warrenton, a piece of land bequethed to the citizens of Warrenton by The Carruthers Familty for the benefit and pleasure of those citizens. Tansey Point is the site of The Anson Dart Treaties signing where something like 52 treaties between Dart, representing the U.S., and the area Native American Tribes and clans, gave over their lands with the treaties never ratified.


It is now a Timber Storage/Shipping Yard for Warrenton Fiber.


The photo above reflects to a reasonable scale what that prospect with those tanks would look like. The LNG Tanker sitting at dock, 2.4, statistical minimum, times a week, not shown, would be twice the length of two tanks combined


The other photo is of the Skipanon Peninsula site with distances to habitated areas in proximity to the Skipanon, OLNG/Calpine site.

What point? the point you're having a wierd conversation with yourself or the strange and pointless post you tagged it on to?

Patrick McGee said...

And are up at 3:55 in the morning attempting to press some stupid insult and inane point yourself?

You are in need of some serious counseling my dear friend.

I suppose you have just read the article in The Oregonian on Clatsop D.A. Marquis huh?

No matter what time and what the weather some of have duty to keep the people in this area safe and healthy. It's called a job, McGee. You know, those things you're always yammering about bringing to the area but never seem to be able to identify. So, hotshot, you volunteering to be my counselor? Didn't think so.

Couldn't even start to consider the depth of training it would take scratch around in that superintellect you call, your mind.

Better leave that to those striving to better understand the thought process that makes up a psyche such as yours.

You stay up whatever hours you wish and contribute all those witty tidbits you wish so long as they are respectful.
