We have discussed Cove Point before. I have expressed my opinion before. As I have said I participated in the project to restart the facility as an import facility, Currently I have absolutely no stake in Dominion other than they bill me for gas provided by a third party. Let it simply be said that our nation is at war with basic economic sanity. American jobs? Efficient use of invested capital(what an absolute novel thought)? Such things are irrelevant to those who purport so loudly to claim about the least among us. Those of you who do not like my commentary on this issue - just think. Do you really care about the well being of the economic disadvantaged or only the con that gets their votes? I do not think you guys give a damn about anything but the con. Bob

Maryland LNG terminal draws fire Advocates file complaint with SEC over environmental risks. By Daniel J. Graeber \| May 7, 2014 at 9:54 AM ...Environmental advocacy groups As You Sow, Chesapeake Climate Action Network, Earthjustice and Trillium Asset Management filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission saying Dominion withheld evidence when it filed the forms necessary for an initial public offering of stock. The groups said in their 49-page complaint the SEC registration from Dominion "potentially" lacked a sufficient environmental risk assessment and downplayed the company's ability to "generate stable and consistent cash flow." There was no public statement from Dominion on the complaint...

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.
