This one goes back a few months, indicating how serious Maine is about phasing out dangerous fossil fuels. There are no known ways to dispose of dangerous fossil fuel waste, which is poisoning earth's atmosphere, no plans to find a permanent repository, but New England's dangerous fossil fuel industry - egged on no doubt by New England governments - is announcing that natural gas is "safe."

The newly expanded Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline has created a real opportunity for more Mainers to have access to natural gas, Tina Faraca, Maritimes president, said just before a Thursday ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Brewer Compressor Station.

The company began shipping natural gas between Nova Scotia and

Massachusetts in 1999 and recently completed an expansion that doubles the pipeline's capacity and opens doors for new suppliers, she said.

"It's the cleanest-burning conventional fuel it's abundant and reliable," Faraca said. "As we bring more supplies to the state, it will bring more opportunities for use."

The company's $300 million Phase IV expansion project went on line in January and has made it possible to deliver approximately 800 million cubic feet of natural gas daily to markets in Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Atlantic Canada.

The expansion also has provided access to liquefied natural gas, imported into Canada through the CanaportTM LNG terminal in Saint John, New Brunswick, a $1 billion project that was built in a partnership between Repsol Energy North America and Irving Oil.

Predictably the gas industry owns New England's legislatures.

In the 1990's Maine's largest source of climate change gas free energy was destroyed despite producing zero injuries, and replaced by dangerous natural gas.

The talk of billion dollar investments in the gas infrastructure in the area shows that the Northeast plans to dump billion ton quantities of dangeorus fossil fuel waste into earth's atmosphere in the coming decades.

1. Hold on a damn minute.

Let me preface this by saying that I buy easements for natural gas pipeline companies. There are too many there that rely on the antiquated. Bullshit!

How so?
