Re: We had a LNG tanker explode in the US many years ago. No, we didn't. Re: They are like atomic bombs. No, they aren't. I think you're confusing the Texas City incident with... something else. The cargo in the Texas City incident was fertilizer, not LNG. en.wikipedia.org There are certainly risks associated with transporting any fuel (or, clearly, a number of other substances like fertilizer) but it's important to remain rational about the relative risks and benefits of these substances. The location in question may well be a bad one that shouldn't be permitted, but LNG tankers are designed to mitigate the risks associated with LNG transport. Regards, Dan
