Maryland has always been a cash crop exporter. Natural gas must be viewed as a cash crop for this country. Although exporting will cause an increase in natural gas prices, it may open up the door to exportation of oil. The exporting operations will also add a number of decent jobs to S. Maryland

Maryland: "From the mountains to the sea"...and to Asia? Fragmenting our mountainous wilderness forests with pipelines and industrializing remote areas, then funneling the product to our Bay gives new meaning to one of Maryland's slogans. Clutching at fossil fuels is so last century.

Allowing expansion of Cove Point for LNG export will, in one grand gesture, contribute to the industrialization of Maryland's 2 most valued natural areas: Chespeake Bay and Mountain Maryland. It will criss-cross the bulk of the state with dangerous pipelines to transport fracked Marcellus gas to Cove Point and then end-users in Asia.
If you think we live in a democracy, watch as the gas industry throws its mighty resources into influencing policy so that shale gas fracking and LNG export can go forward in our state. Please contact your State legislators today and tell them to say "No" to fracking and LNG exports in Maryland.

Expansion of the cove Point facility to liquefy and export methane gas will endanger the Bay and the residents nearby as well as increase demand for drilling by hydraulic fracturing in Pennsylvania, Virginia and even Maryland. Overall, shipping fracked gas to India, Japan, etc. means the burning of more fossil fuel and increased global climate change and the probability of more storms like Sandy.

Crazy People! Greedy People!
Wait until your bay is ruined; no swimming, no water activities, no intelligence, although, based on this vote that may have been lost already.
