Hmmmmm!
Let's see now, the cause of LNG Speculators prospered by an elected State Representative and one time Union Man serving on a committee determining the future of the labor force on the Columbia defending what appears to smell like a duck, walklike a duck and quack like a duck no matter how he tries to shove it down your throat as an innocent little legislative attempt to take your private land by government for the benefit of a private corporation?
That, no matter how you look at it, steps the hell all over our constitutional 5th ammendment in my view.
You might want to talk to a Mr. Roger Thompson whose family owned for 130 years and still does, a parcel of land adjacent to the, at the time, proposed Port Westward LNG Terminal in Clatskanie.His family's offer by the LNG Speculators, aided by The Port of Saint Helens was three choices, "Sell it to us, lease it to us, or lose it to us" and I know this because I was in regular contact with him at the time and he and his family were, regarldless of the finacial aspects of it, were fully prepared to fight for their precious piece of land.
Fortunately for that family, fate intervened and the project failed but, what about all the others with land in the way of these LNG Specutlators and their ultrta-costly proposed schemes?
Can these people, abetted by our elected officials, truly prove the need for LNG? I don't think they can but, what I do see at this moment is what appears to be a concerted effort by all involved, Witt included, on the Pro side of the LNG issue to exploit this tragic economic state we are all in, and presumably temporary in the overall, to their benefit as a catalyst to lock this scheme, with its limited end jobs and devastating upheaval of our infrastructure to a 50, 60 year unwanted marriage to a wicked mistress of speculated huge profit for all its supporters.
Simple fact of the matter is that Palomar, the proposed pipeline contractor in collusiuon with Northwest Natural Gas for Bradwood, Oregon LNG and Coos Bay's project, says we don't need LNG at all, we only need one link-up with a pipeline out of the Rockies, using existing rights of way in the majority, tying into The TransCanada and Williams Pipeline, to serve the west coast's NG market for years to come and SunstonePipeline Website until we can market renewable and sustainable energy resources to wean ourselves from the dependence on it.
