Abstract

There are three proposals to build liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminals on a 15-mile stretch of the Passamasquoddy Bay coastline. Gas usage is expected to surge nationwide and LNG is expected to fill much of that demand. Washington County is close to the Maritimes & Northeast Pipeline and has a relatively low population density, but opponents, such as the group Save Passamaquoddy Bay, say the impact on fishing and tourism as well as environmental and safety concerns make building a terminal a bad idea. Mainebiz spoke about the prospects for a terminal to the three developers: Quoddy Bay LLC, which is working with the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Pleasant Point; Downeast LNG, a company with a strong background in the LNG market; and BP Consulting, which is developing a proposal with the Passamaquoddy Tribe at Indian Township.
