Liquid Natural Gas Proposal Goes to Critical Vote

natural gas imported to Humboldt Bay from Bolivia is part of the Calpine plan that uses WTO/FTAA globalization free trade agreements to extract natural gas from underneath the feet of Bolivian people..

the campesino protest last fall showed the world that the Bolivian people are in solidarity against the US puppet president. the corporation involved in natural gas extraction is Pacific Natural Gas Consortium, a spin-off of British Petroleum, similar to Calpine coming into being after a massive 1.8 billion start-up from ENRON. This represents the petroleum corporations attempting to control natural gas as an "alternative energy". Calpine is also engaging in the chemical fouling of sacred Medicine Lake with geothermal drilling. The claim of their geothermal project as environmentally sound is misleading, underground hydrogen sulfide will be released in the geothermal drilling and contaminate the healing waters of Medicine Lake..

most of the energy from Medicine Lake would be used for spotlights in Reno casinos and High Desert State prison in Susanville as more people are incarcerated by this racist, classist system of corporate control. Ironically, the indigenous tribes who hold Medicine Lake as sacred are finding themselves incarcerated in California's prisons..

local production of methane (CH4), a natural gas, is possible by a form of composting biomass that traps the methane and stores it in a safer way. Local production doesn't involve tankers and dredging eelgrass habitat of Humboldt Bay, doesn't involve seismically explosive geopolitical situations that take advantage of Bolivian people by drilling on their land, and doesn't involve dealing with petroleum corporation offshoots like Calpine and Pacific Natural Gas Consortium. Composting biomass and collecting methane would be locally owned and operated, providing jobs for the community and being sustainable..

petroleum corporations have controlled the economy for too long, now that petroleum is being used up at a faster rate by SUV culture, the same corporations are attempting to controll alternative energy like natural gas, solar, hydrogen etc..

Venezuala is being targeted by US military 4 petroleum and Bolivia 4 natural gas, buildup of US troops in Haiti seems to indicate an interest in petroleum reserves offshore in del mar de Caribe. Haiti is a location that provides the military with greater control of sea traffic..
