Liquefied natural gas tankers have no place travelling up and down the Inside Passage, Capital Regional District directors say.

    Too bad that these 'directors' don't understand that LNG isn't flammable in its transportable (frozen form). It's only when it's brought back to room temp that it is super dangerous. A bad case of NIMBYism...

    If it runs aground, loses power, or breaks up, I suspect it'll thaw... hence the concerns.

    They are going to build a super expensive treatment plant so that they can gather all of the sludge which is diluted by coastal tides and currents and drop it into a landfill where it can sit and rot for a few hundred years.

    Yes, and if planes crash people die...how often does that happen? With the safety technologies involved, basically never.

    LNG is far safer than the gas at the local gas station, yet you hardly ever see councils outlawing gas stations. Hell, the hydro-electric dam up the river from most major cities is just as big a liability, but most people don't even think about them.

    Fear mongering is all this is.
