So what's the Bad News for saveRGVfromLNG?
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the proposed natural gas powered Tenaska Brownsville Power Plant is part of an energy war.
Lots of folks want to see our small part of the world become a Bi-NED "Energy Hub." With Bi-NED = Bi-National Economic Development [Hub].
The war seems to be the fossil fuel old energy folks against the clean, renewable energy folks. With some folks wanting both. Building a new Energy Plant here that's powered by natural gas puts it on the same side as LNG export operations at our Port, out Port's getting two oil docks ready for expanded oil exports by Summer 2017, and the proposed Valley Crossing Pipeline that would export natural gas from the US into Mexico by way of a pipeline form the Aqua Dulce Hub (northwest of Kingsville) down to our Port and then into our South Bay, across Brazos Island, and then into the Gulf on its way to Veracruz, Mexico. Making our Port oil and gas export friendly would encourage the fracking of northern Mexico's Burgos Basin just the other side of the Rio Grande River from our McAllen, Edinburg, Pharr area (with the Burgos promising five to eight times the production capacity as Eagle Ford 200 miles or so to the north of us.
Many here want to expand our future economic and job growth in the direction of sustainable Gulf shrimping, eco- and beach-tourism, active tourism, and such -- taking advantage of the fact that there's no other place left along the Texas Gulf Coast (or anywhere) suitable for such growth and development. They prefer clean, renewable solar and wind energy compatible with this type of development.
And they see fossil fuel related projects and operations not as bridges to a future of cleaner energy but as a road block getting in the way of clean energy development and the kind of eco-, people-friendly, healthy growth and economic development they want for themselves and for their children here in the Rio Grande Valley.
