The safety and security concerns associated with importing LNG are minimal and outweighed by “the cost of doing nothing” to augment natural gas supply, according to Bill Cooper, the executive director of The Center for Liquefied Natural Gas. “[W]e hear statistics every year about people that die of hypothermia because they don’t have enough heat for their homes, enough fuel supply for their homes or they can’t afford the bills,” he said. “The risk of bringing in LNG however is very small and manageable.” Cooper’s interview with E&E Publishing’s OnPoint is here.
