CALPINE LNG PULLS OUT OF HUMBOLDT

by semp
Word just in that Calpine has pulled out of the LNG terminal on Somoa Peninsula after 1000 turn out to last nights Eureka City Council meeting.
Word just in that Calpine has pulled out of the LNG terminal on Somoa Peninsula after roughly 1000 people turned out to last nights Eureka City Council meeting. The hearing was postponed around 10pm last night due to 127 people left on the agenda to speak.

Calpine sent a letter to the City of Eureka today saying they are pulling out. Confirmed by mayor Peter La vallee and council member Chris Kerrigan of Eureka written by Ken Abrew. Kerrigan stated on KMUD news the city got the letter around 4:15pm today, from Calpine stating their intent of withdrawing the request seeking exclusive contracts to develop the LNG. Calpine was trying to drive the process and from the resounding message they got last night, was that the community was not willing to accept Liquified Natural Gas.

No meeting for Thursday night, it's been cancelled. No need to continue the process as they've pulled out!!
