What is the actual residential natural gas usage in South Fla? My guess is that is probably pretty low. I'd bet this is for some commercial usage and that alternatives exist. Turkey Point already exists, it sits right off the Key Biscayne Aquatic Preserve. I'm sure there is an LNG market but I can't for the life of me imagine why it would need to come onshore at Ft. Lauderdale. Given that this would be a strategic asset I wonder what effect it would have on recreational access and what dredging activities during construction would do to the reefs?
I agree with T Boone Pickens on at least one point, gas fired power plants are probably not the most strategic long-term use for natural gas or liquified natural gas.
Most disturbing to me is that this, by definition, increases our dependence on foreign energy resources.
