Description: Motion for Leave to Answer and Answer of the Province of New Brunswick, Canada under CP10-31 and CP10-32.

Summary: The Province of New Brunswick demonstrates Calais LNG has mischaracterized New Brunswick's intervention and that CLNG is attempting to limit that intervention; New Brunswick's intervention is not "conditional." Also, New Brunswick demonstrates Calais LNG has failed to meet five key categories of necessary information required by FERC — and admits it has not provided that information; thus, the application is incomplete and should be rejected by FERC.

Summary: Non-intervenor Mr. Drake believes CLNG would bring jobs, would benefit the paper industry, and would reduce dependence on LNG from Canada.

Webmaster’s Comments: Calais LNG would have no impact on natural gas coming into Maine as a result of Canaport LNG in Saint John, NB, since Canaport has a 25-year contract for its gas. Calais LNG would have to find new markets — markets that are already being, or can be, easily satisfied by existing natural gas supplies.

Description: Comments of House of Representatives Anne C Perry re the Calais LNG Project under CP10-31 et al.

Summary: Non-intervenor Rep. Perry supports CLNG for the promised jobs and because it would bring a clean, alternative energy source to heating oil.

Webmaster’s Comments: Natural gas is already available via the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline, or even from St. Stephen, across the river from Calais. For local benefit from natural gas — from either the existing sources or from a Passamaquoddy Bay LNG facility — would require building the delivery infrastructure to homes and businesses; it would need to promise profitability. Also, imported LNG (Distrigas LNG and Northeast Gateway in Massachusetts) has proved to be significantly more expensive than Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline natural gas.

Also, as of the last report available (3rd Quarter of 2009, prior to Canaport LNG opening), Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline natural gas has proved to be significantly cheaper than LNG being imported in Massachussetts (Distrigas LNG & Northeast Gateway).

Summary: Non-intervenor Mr. Case identifies himself as a hardware store owner in Calais. He supports CLNG for the promised jobs, and indicates CLNG would result in long-term jobs for lodgings and restaurants. He claims CLNG has the full support of nearly every year-round resident. He compares the benefit from CLNG to the benefit Canada has received from LNG.

Webmaster’s Comments: This comment overlooks the critical difference between the Canaport LNG and Calais LNG projects, as well as market realities:

• Canaport does not place thousands of people within federally-defined LNG-ship Hazard Zones. Most Calais residents would not fall within those Hazard Zones, while several other communities would.
• There is an ocean of domestic natural gas available within the US, the natural gas market is already flooded with supply, and there is a surplus of LNG import infrastructure. US LNG terminals have been operating at an average of under 10%.

Webmaster’s Comments: Calais did not turn away Wal-Mart (but look what has happened to local businesses). The new hydrokinetic tidal power projects have not been turned away. New area wind power projects have not been turned away.

The US Government considers the project a significant enough safety threat that is has declared Hazard Zones around the transiting LNG tankers that would engulf thousands of people. Nearly all residents of Calais would not be within those Hazard Zones, but numerous other communities would be in harm's way against their will.

Accession No: 20100303-0005
Description: Comments of Vinton Cassidy expressing support for the Calais Pipeline Co, LLC's et al proposed LNG Import Terminal etc under CP10-31 et al.

Summary: Non-intervenor City of Calais Mayor Cassidy supports CLNG for the jobs it promises. He claims, "The few who oppose, most of whom are Canadian, do so on grounds unrelated to legitimate safety, environmental, or other aesthetic concerns."

Webmaster’s Comments: Those who oppose CLNG may actually number in the millions, if counting all of Canada. However, since there has been no area-wide or Washington County-wide survey or vote to substantiate Mr. Cassidy's claim, his statement regarding opponents is unfounded.

The world LNG industry's own terminal siting best safe practices indicate LNG in Passamaquoddy Bay is unsafe. Also, the US Federal Government has established death-injury-destruction Hazard Zones that accompany LNG carriers. Contrary to the mayor's opinion, those are legitimate safety concerns.

The mayor claims CLNG would force the cost of energy down. Such thinking ignores the price of natural gas coming from the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline vs. the cost of regasified LNG at Boston. According to the latest information (3rd quarter of 2009), Boston's LNG-source natural gas cost significantly more than non-LNG-source natural gas coming into the US via the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline.

Summary: Chairman Wellinghoff's letter insists FERC must continue the permitting process for Calais LNG and Downeast LNG, and that the issue of LNG tanker traffic through Canadian waters has not been resolved.

Webmaster’s Comments: Absent from the letter is recognition of Canada's sovereign rights equal to those of the USA. Chairman Wellinghoff also ignores the US Coast Guard homeland security requirement prohibiting LNG transits into and through Passamaquoddy Bay without Canada's coordination and cooperation — something Canada has vowed not to provide.

Chairman Wellinhoff and FERC are wasting a lot of time and money processing permits for projects that have no hope of completion.

Webmaster’s Comments: While cleaner than heating oil, natural gas is not clean; burning it emits air pollution, and natural gas (mostly methane) is in itself a greenhouse gas. Calais LNG is not promising to distribute natural gas to area residents. It proposes to send its gas to the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline.

Description: Comments of William Delmonaco re the Calais LNG Project under CP10-31 et al.

Summary: Non-intervenor cites jobs as reason for support. He claims LNG would provide cheaper energy to Maine paper mills and perhaps for home heating. He cryptically claims LNG would "provide a bridge to our energy future" and reduce dependence on oil.

Webmaster’s Comments: LNG is costlier than domestic natural gas. Verso Paper already has a natural gas line supplying its Bucksport mill, and a Brewer company is already planning to truck LNG made from Martimes & Northeast Pipeline natural gas to Lincoln Paper. Domtar has not taken advantage of the natural gas already avaialable via the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline because it does not provide a cost benefit to Domtar. Relying on imported LNG would merely transfer dependence from oil to foreign LNG.

Summary: Non-intervenor cites jobs as reason for support. He also claims papermills need LNG to be competitive.

Webmaster’s Comments: LNG is more expensive than domestic supplies of natural gas. Papermills' needs are either already being met (as with Domtar and Verso Paper in Bucksport), or can be met by the pipeline natural gas-to-LNG project in Brewer that will truck LNG to papermills.

Description: Comments of Jane Delmonaco re the proposed Calais LNG Project under CP10-31 et al.

Summary: Non-intervenor boilerplate comments cite jobs as reason for support. She also states that paper mills need LNG to be competitive, and that it would provide a choice for home heating.

Webmaster’s Comments: LNG is more expensive than domestic supplies of natural gas. Papermills' needs are either already being met (as with Domtar and Verso Paper in Bucksport), or can be met by the pipeline natural gas-to-LNG project in Brewer that will truck LNG to papermills. Replacing dependence on oil with dependence on foreign LNG is not a solution to energy independence, especially when the US has 100 years' worth of domestic natural gas and when there are over 30 pipeline expansion projects to bring that gas to the Northeast.

Summary: Non-intervenor boilerplate comments cite jobs as reason for support. The person claims LNG is cheaper than other energy solutions for paper mills. She claims LNG would provide an alternative energy source for homeowners, would reduce dependence on foreign oil, and would somehow bring about renewable energy.

Webmaster’s Comments: LNG is more expensive than domestic supplies of natural gas. Papermills' needs are either already being met (as with Domtar and Verso Paper in Bucksport), or can be met by the pipeline natural gas-to-LNG project in Brewer that will truck LNG to papermills. Replacing dependence on oil with dependence on foreign LNG does not create energy independence.
