Recall is being misused in Clatsop LNG fight
By The Oregonian Editorial Board
September 26, 2009, 10:02AM

Wrongheaded recall elections looming in Clatsop County are a sure sign the fight over liquefied natural gas development there has gotten out of hand.

GRP: Fitting irony that the comments to this...this...piece of...Seemingly pro-lng propaganda, from The Oregonian, seems to match the majority of sentiment of the citizens of Clatsop County and The Lower Columbia River region, as it has from day one and that is, they do not appear to be in favor of it or the elected and appointed officials serving in their trust colluding with these private "Energy Speculators" to ram this stuff down their throats as the record should clearly show.

Bradwood Landing: 36-38 Miles Of Pipeline Right Of Way - Add 224.24 Acres To The Project Would You?

From John L. Kennedy, "Oil and Gas Pipeline Fundametals"

The average Natural Gas High Pressure Pipeline Right of Way is 50' wide with 35' maintained clear.

So, using this average and an average 37 Mile long NSNG controlled pipeline right of way x 5280 feet = 195, 360' x 50 = 9,768,000 square feet divided by 43560 square feet(acre) = 224.24 acres owned/controlled by who?

Where does the end of that pipeline originate?

From the Bradwood Landing LNG/Storage Terminal facility of course.

So add that 224 acres to that magic, "Bovine Scat", 40 acres NSNG says they are only using and you have 264 acres of physical property under the control/ownership of Bradwood Landing/NSNG.

Small Project?

No way in hell!!!

Cheniere's Sabine Pass LNG Terminal: A Little Look At Terminal Use Agreements

Terminal Use Agreements!

That's what the end result for NSNG/Bradwood and Oregon LNG is all about, those committed clients and their annual, expected product generation(Regasified Natural Gas) and expected revenue from each client.

Take a look, do the math and you will see the payoff and the incentive to do absolutely what's necessary to make thse projects happen and it appears the firstest with the mostest wins it all.

Don't be fooled into thinking these Energy Speculators are in this to be a kindly little way station to help us get Natural Gas to our friendly Natural Gas supplier.

From The Daily Astorian - Critics Debunk PUC Commission's Beyer

Critics debunk Beyer's LNG paper - PUC chairman tells Kulongoski he thinks importing LNG is a good way for the state to ensure supply, price

By CASSANDRA PROFITA - The Daily Astorian

The chairman of Oregon's Public Utility Commission has told Gov. Ted Kulongoski he thinks importing liquefied natural gas is a good way for the state to ensure future supply and stabilize prices.

Contrary to the findings of the Oregon Department of Energy, which released a study last month concluding Oregon doesn't need LNG, PUC Chairman Lee Beyer said an LNG terminal will help meet increases in demand for natural gas and could offer some savings in transportation costs, though it would sell for about the same price as domestic gas.

"Other regions of the country are all looking to secure access to additional gas supply sources, such as LNG and nonconventional gas, to replace supplies from quickly diminishing domestic and pipeline import sources," Beyer said in a five-page memo to Kulongoski sent May 30. "The Northwest should do the same."......For Complete Article, Click On Title Above.

LNG:Bradwood/Northern Star NG And What Is Their "Commercial Client

From Northern Star Community Liason, Peter Hackett to my query as to exactly what is meant by the term.... "Commercial Client".

Strangely, no mention of the proposed Palomar Pipeline?
(Hackett says...We(You and Me) will have to call Palomar for the status of that project....?)

The pipeline has a tap to the GP mill in Wauna……………and another to all industries at the Port of St Helens as well.

Ethanol and NG fired power plants.

No contracts for sales of gas……………….that happens after permitting……….and contracts for supply.

Pipelines have open capacity……….........Bradwood is a Tolling Facility (This means that companies will sign long-term terminal use agreements that will give LNG sellers access to the US market, and US natural gas buyers access to the global supplies of LNG).…………we provide a service………..storage and regasification of LNG.

Natural Gas leaving Bradwood will go to Kelso and the Williams Pipeline……….NG currently in the WP will be eventually displaced by “price taking” , lower priced LNG that gets regasified at Bradwood.

Residential and Commercial natural gas customers that use Williams will be using NG from Bradwood, as contracts are negotiated for supply.

Natural Gas Utilities in the NW would be commercial clients…………………..GP could buy gas directly………….as well as the industries at the Port of SH
