Dominion LNG export project clears U.S. environmental review Posted on May 15, 2014 at 12:02 pm by Bloomberg fuelfix.com Dominion Cove Point LNG Project Passes FERC Environmental Assessment Review Published on Thursday, 15 May 2014 10:14 lngglobal.com FERC says approval of Dominion Cove Point LNG Project would NOT constitute an action affecting the quality of the environment. === The only major remaining hurtle to the project will be a ruling by the Maryland Public Service Commission, which will determine whether the plan's additional power generation is in the “ public interest” and thereby merits approval. I received a tweet from someone at the hearing by the Maryland Public Service Commission held on the day of the big Baltimore Anti-Fracking march against the proposed Cove Point project inthesetimes.com that M.P.S.C. would NOT consider the fracking issue in making its decision. It is unlikely, IMHO, that they would consider some of the specious Global Warming arguments against the project considering that the exported LNG would likely displace coal burning overseas. The project has near unanimous support by local Southern Maryland government. The opponents have appealed to the Obama Administration, but given the current political climate in Washington as a result of the Ukraine Crisis, it is unlikely the Obama Administration would dream up an reason to block this LNG export project. Only our term-limited, presidentially ambitious, Governor could find some extraordinary means to stop it in order to suck up to the Greens prior to the Dem presidential primaries. Such a blatant political move without some scientific cover from a creditable environmental review is unlikely, IMO, because it could cost him politically more than it would gain.
