Re: IP Takeover?

[Stewart Farber <radproject@optonline.net>]

Hi all:

Since the politician  who is proposing replacing IP's nukes with 2,000 MW[e] of  natural gas generating 

capacity,  and natural gas fired electric generating plants will force the imporating of huge quantities of 

LNG most likely, my comment is completely appropriate. True the LNG industry is regulated, but does anyone 

really think that LNG storage tanks or the huge incoming LNG tankers are less subject to successful 

terrorist attack which might lead to horrible consequences than an attack on a NPP? Valid issues, valid 

questions?



I'm not attacking the LNG industry just trying to put all the facts on the table for honest evaluation of 

risks, benefits, and costs to society.

regulated industry as is the NP industry and dare I say as misunderstood as far as risk is concerned.
