Bay Staters enjoying the final stretch of summer can look forward to a pricey winter for home heating costs, according to state officials. “It’s going to be a very expensive winter,” Secretary of Environment and Energy Affairs Maeve Vallely Bartlett said during a Tuesday meeting at Tufts Medical Center. “We are projecting that due to our constrained natural gas supply, that prices in New England will go up for the winter,” she said. Of course these same politicians are opposing a new gas pipeline from PA to the Boston area.

LNG export Terminals - Hawaii & Mexico I was going through the $4.7Bln of KMI capital projects and noticed that quite a bit of money is deployed to build out their NG pipelines into Mexico. Here is the link to their Web page for their different projects. I was trying to connect the dots along w/ what Williams Companies, Inc. (WMB) has going specifically their proposed expansion into Oregon and some sort of LNG terminal storage and/or export facility located at/near the Columbia River inlet. Liquified Natural Gas in Oregon When I looked at the West Coast coverage for LNG distribution and possible export, you have British Colombia, Oregon and Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I was curious if any of the main pipeline and/or terminal operators have discussed Hawaii as a possible distribution point for LNG storage and import/export. It seems like the logical extension to have some or all of the West Coast LNG terminals use Hawaii as a storage/distribution point to Asia rather than have 100% of the shipment go directly to Asia. If not Hawaii, there may be other Pacific Islands that may provide a good distribution point for LNG storage terminals. If one or more of the major pipeline companies and/or major Oil companies locked up the distribution channels to Asia, it would be like printing money. The only other real competition would be from Australia and maybe Russia. EKS
