Proposed site for Penn LNG, downriver from Philly (click for larger version)
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. The Philadelphia Inquirer's Andrew Maykuth reports that 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 favored site for the project is currently a functioning warehouse (once upon a time a Ford assembly plant) in Delaware County. However, the owner of the warehouse/site says it's not for sale. That's just one of the headwinds the project faces.
