If it’s unsafe here, it’s unsafe there

Re: Deidre Frank’s Feb. 24 letter, “Area will have enough LNG�:

This letter regarding liquefied natural gas was an eye-opener. What of the argument the anti-LNGers were using about how the proposed pipeline was going to cut through the low-income area of Oxnard, that they were the poor, unwilling pawns of the evil, greedy corporations who could care less about them? What about the “nuclear blast� that could occur if this LNG terminal went up? I suppose it is OK for the people of Ensenada to worry about these problems, as long as Ms. Frank is able to get her natural gas without having to worry about it.

What a sad and arrogant position. If all the arguments the anti-LNGers are using are true, then why is it OK to build these plants anywhere?

I really feel all this is, and will continue to be, not about safety, but more about “not in my back yard. Just keep the gas flowing, and keep it cheap. Who cares where it comes from, as long as I have it and the problem is someone else’s.�

Sad.
