Maybe Tom Menino was right about those LNG tankers after all.

Marilora lives close enough to the harbor to be able to take pictures of the giant LNG tankers from her bedroom window. So she takes great interest in reports on the damage a terrorist attack on one could do, like incinerating everybody within a one-mile radius:

Should I take comfort in the fact that I will probably just be incinerated instantly? ... I know that we need LNG and the terminals have to go somewhere, but to have one in such a populated area is just such a huge risk, especially considering the Homeland Security Department has basically done didly squat to protect our ports from the possibility of terrorist attacks. ...

Seems this blog, which purports to be part of an effort to get LNG tankers out of Boston Harbor, is actually part of a PR effort by AES, the company that wants to build an LNG terminal on Outer Brewster Island (and yes, dagnabbit, I got taken in).

Save the Brewsters is a site by people fighting AES's terminal proposal. Among their points:

A second LNG site would not replace the existing Everett facility, but would be built in additon to it (by a completely different company), and thereby have no impact on the frequency of LNG tankers traversing Boston Harbor.

LNG Solutions is a new blog aimed at fighting the continuing transit of LNG tankers through Boston Harbor:

Liquefied natural gas tankers traveling through Boston Harbor carry volatile cargo and are terrorists targets. Sixty times a year, these floating bombs steam past thousands of homes and 500,000 residents who are in constant danger. We want these dangerous ships out of Boston Harbor.

Update: This blog is part of a PR effort by the company that wants to build an LNG terminal on Outer Brewster Island, in other words, not some concerned residents.
