Uproar as LNG tankers head for Boston Harbor - BostonHerald.com: "The U.S. Coast Guard will allow tankers from Yemen carrying liquefied natural gas to begin rolling into Boston Harbor later this month despite elected officials’ fears about the highly flammable cargo originating from a suspected al-Qaeda stronghold.
As the Coast Guard announced the completion of a security plan to allow shipments to safely approach the densely populated local area around the LNG offloading terminal in Everett, House Speaker Robert A. DeLeo vowed to enlist members of Congress to explore “other options” to stop the shipments and Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino blasted the Coast Guard’s decision.
“I am disappointed by the decision to allow the shipment of LNG from Yemen and believe that this is the wrong decision,” Menino said in a statement. ‘’It is unreasonable and unsafe to continually put the interests of large corporations ahead of the security of Boston area residents, and it is time to solve this problem once and for all.”"
