Earlier this month, MDN brought you the fantastic news that seemingly out of nowhere a plan to build an LNG export facility on the banks of the Delaware River south of Philadelphia is being actively, seriously discussed (see U.S. East Coast’s 3rd LNG Export Plant Proposed Near Philadelphia). Penn LNG, headed by a native of Philadelphia, has “quietly lined up support to build a $6.4 billion liquefied natural gas export terminal near Philly.” The company is considering several potential locations in the Philly area (see Proposed Philly LNG Export Plant Looking for Real Estate to Build). Predictably, the left is spreading lies and smears about the project, invoking so-called “environmental justice” concerns (claiming oil and gas always build projects in powerless neighborhoods of color) and other specious arguments.
