[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 5126035, member: 12952"] The [B]Appalachian Basin[/B] is the oldest and longest producing commercially viable petroleum-producing [B]basin[/B] in the United States. The region extends from Alabama to Maine Massachusetts has the only [B]LNG[/B] import terminals in New England, one at Everett and two offshore in Massachusetts Bay. The LNG shipments come from Trinidad and Tobago in the Caribbean. ( some 2300 miles away ) Why not from a source only a few hundred miles away ? (1) [B]The[/B] Merchant Marine [B]Act[/B] [B]of[/B] [B]1920[/B], known as the [B]Jones[/B] [B]Act[/B], is a federal statute establishing support for the development and maintenance of a merchant marine in order to support commercial activity (See 46 USC § 50101). The statute requires shipping between US ports to be conducted by US-flag ships. And to ensure the ongoing business to support our inter-coastal shipping capacity and maintain a market for U.S. industrial shipyard infrastructure to build, repair, and overhaul U.S. vessels. 100 years later; No US Shipyards build any LNG Tankers. Thus no LNG shipments can be made from one US Port to another. (2) Lack of pipelines from the Appalachian Basin. I wonder if those who protested the creation of new pipelines are happy as our seniors and families freeze during the winter months. [/QUOTE]
