| Boston Mayor Seeks to Block Yemeni LNG Tanker Deliveries |
| 2010-01-01 |
| Mayor Thomas M. Menino said yesterday he will ask Boston's lawyers to see whether the city can block Yemeni tankers from delivering liquefied natural gas into Boston Harbor, calling such deliveries "wrong.'' "We're in extraordinary times that call for extraordinary measures to ensure the safety of our city,'' the mayor said in an interview. "They cannot be coming into a harbor like Boston, where there is less than 50 feet between the tankers and residential areas.'' |

| #6 No. There have been LNG tankers arriving in Boston now for at least a decade. Maybe two. At worst, it'll be brought in in non-Yemeni hulls. Mumbles is just putting on a show. |

| #5 Why do they need to import LNG? IIRC isn't there an overland pipeline in W. Mass? |

| #4 Deliveries are wrong? Fine. Stop the deliveries and shut off the Natural Gas. There are consequences of the action. Maybe someone will learn in Boston. |

| #3 You know, this guy should have thought about the dangers of allowing yemenis to bring large field-expedient FAE's into his harbor _BEFORE_ they decided drilling here was wrong and stupid and made that decision stick for the last twenty years. |
