Beautiful piece today in the Oil Drum on the only real Peak that matters to the U.S...the Peak in Oil Exports. Expounds in more detail on the Export Land Model....: europe.theoildrum.com The authors found not only that the volume of oil available to the market will follow a dynamic of its own, declining faster than total production, but also that the number of exporting countries would diminish, compromising the diversity of supply. Not to mention U.S. politicians trying further to compromise supply diversity by demonizing those who supply us the most (Obama with Canada, McCain with Iran and Venezuela).

Rapid Phase Transitions: LNG undergoes a rapid transition to vapor especially when spilled on water. The volume of the LNG instantly expands 600 times resulting in a Rapid Phase Transition (RPT) or physical explosion which poses a hazard for structures and people close to the site of the incident. This explosion does not involve combustion. When LNG is spilled on water, heat is transferred from the water to the LNG. This results in a rapid transformation of liquid to gas releasing a large amount of energy. energy.ca.gov Is LNG flammable? When cold LNG comes in contact with warmer air, it becomes a visible vapor cloud. As it continues to get warmer, the vapor cloud becomes lighter than air and rises. When LNG vapor mixes with air it is only flammable if it's within 5%-15% natural gas in air. If it's less than five percent natural gas in air, there is not enough natural gas in the air to burn. If it's more than 15 percent natural gas in air, there is too much gas in the air and not enough oxygen for it to burn. Is LNG explosive? As a liquid, LNG is not explosive. LNG vapor will only explode if in an enclosed space. LNG vapor is only explosive if within the flammable range of 5%-15% when mixed with air. energy.ca.gov
