Bob braddock says no local jobs for lng at Jordan cove wrote on Sep 9, 2008 6:54 AM:
What part of NO local jobs for this Lng project at Jordan Cove don't you understand everyman? This is according to Bob Braddock himself, stop trying to "con" people that is project is good for this local area & Oregon itself PERIOD! I wonder if you were one of the MANY people that were going to be FORCED to sell their land so a Lng pipe could go through their property, if you would still have your nonsense point of view? Deal in facts, not on what Bob Braddock tells you what to say, you are very obvious on your pro Lng point of view that makes no sense!

Let me explain...
I am niether silly nor pathetic..
I said one of a slew of alternatives...that means one of many...I also said that this is not a silver bullet...but it is a viable, useable alternative
The Jobs I am talking about are not ones that our teens can walk into right now, but ones that they can strive for in the future...when existing employees retire, move away, etc...our kids need something that they can bring thier families back to, if they go get an education elsewhere...
And please stop calling me names...you are making me angry...and you won't like me when I'm angry...(EYES TURNING GREEN)

Everyman the issue is LNG at Jordan Cove was appealed due to Tsunami issue wrote on Aug 19, 2008 12:06 PM:
Take your Bob Braddock point of view to another state, because people of Oregon know the facts on this useless Lng project at Jordan Cove! No jobs for locals, residents living within that 2 mile hazard zone every time an Lng ship arrives here, residents forced to sell their property just so California can get this gas, Lng gas is at least 2 times more expensive then gas used right now in Oregon, etc! Look up the word con & scam, because con belongs to your factless/pointless posts in here & scam applies to this Lng project at Jordan Cove! Find another state Bob, because Oregon doesn't need you!

Another nonsense post by everyman,
Thinking if this California LNG SCAM comes here, it creates our independence? Sorry, but that creates the opposite situation (dependence) on other countries outside of the USA. Especially since this is twice as expensive as the natural gas used today by Oregon citizens!
Stating you don't care if the jobs created by this SCAM are for outsiders (non local residents) or insiders (Local residents), but hoping the teens of this area will benefit from this, when all the jobs will be filled by outside of the area people picked by Bob Braddock? ZERO jobs for this area means ZERO jobs for everyone in Oregon (Including teens)!
Thinking your little nonsense posts are in fun, keeping things light, when the majority of Oregon doesn't want or need this accident waiting to happen garbage, some people will actually be forced to sell their land also, think again! You must be a used car salesman on the weekends & hoping to cash in on this SCAM at Jordon Cove some how, on why you post so much nonsense in here!

How silly everyman,
Your Quote: "This is one of a slew of alternative resources at our disposal to use in becoming energy-independant"
How is importing the expensive LNG (2X more expensive then natural gas used today by Oregon citizens) creating any kind of independence for future USA energy needs?
Answer: NONE (Creates more dependence on outside sources)
How is having this California LNG SCAM helping Oregon when all the jobs will be given to outsiders & NOT Oregon residents? How is this helping "create jobs here that our teens can strive for down the road instead of moving away and never looking back"?
Answer: It's NOT (No jobs for our teens)
How fair is it that Oregon resident will be FORCED to give up their land to this ZERO job producer just so a 36 inch pipe can go thru it on it's 230 mile way to California?
Answer: Totally unfair & a form of dictatorship!
Oregon's Dept of Energy says NO & majority of Oregon's residents says NO to this SCAM, thus nothin funny about this situation to "lighten up about" as you would pathetically say...

Everywoman, I was referring to only one post-er (Jane) when I made the comment you are referring to...please pardon the offense.
I am having some fun with the posts because I think a little brevity MAY help lighten things up...
But my opinions are thus; yes there is risk with this proposed plant, but it is managable...and can be addressed by level heads that assess this kind of risk as a profession, not by "laymen", so to speak, like you or me.
As for the expense/need of LNG; let the market decide. I could care less where it is shipped, as long as it is handled with some TLC, ship it to the moon, for all I care...
This is one of a slew of alternative resources at our disposal to use in becoming energy-independant. It is NOT a silver bullet that will fix our energy woes...
And finally, the jobs; outsiders, insiders, I don't care, just get them here and employ them...and while we're at it, create jobs here that our teens can strive for down the road instead of moving away and never looking back.
Love, Everyman

I agree with you Jane 100%, those other people are very pathetic & child like (looking for attention). They come across as some 7th grader just learning how to discuss something intelligently, but haven't figured it out yet. I guess if I couldn't support my opinion with facts, maybe I would be desperate enough to con people with 1/2 truths & cutesy childish things like changing the subject, if I was going to profit or make money off this useless Lng at Jordan Cove. Keep up the good work, because you & the many that have the facts on this useless Lng are doing the majority of Oregon citizens a great service by getting the necessary info out there to them!

Let me try this again since my first post didn't get on here! To Everyman, on the posts that you put on here you seem fearless, but yet you don't find it "safe" to use your real name for "obvious" reasons. Why is that? Are you afraid that harmful remarks will come back to you? Just as we are afraid that LNG's harmful effects will come back at us? You sit there at your computer day in and day out and make fun at everyones expense that doesn't agree with you! Our feelings ARE real. We take our families and homes seriously and their safty is number one in our lives and you sit back and joke about it over and over again the same nonsense. And then the last straw you refer to us as being like "hitler"! what is up with that? You have chosen your screen name as "Everyman" I am sorry but EVERYMAN I have ever known would never speak as you do.

OK, then why has no one, especially the Jordan Cove people, addressed the blatantly obvious and clearly unpreventable threat from a terrorist attack on an LNG ship as it slowly passes within the blast zone range of many local resident's homes or jobs, or just people unlucky to be at the wrong spot when it happens?
If LNG does come here, and America continues to be a terrorist target, then the probability of such an event is far from negligible. Please tell us why making everyone here unnecessarily face that risk is not sociopathy?

Selling out is a good word on ignoring any issue with this Lng project (Tsunami hazard zone DLCD requirements, air pollution, Oregon citizens forced to sell their land, etc.), just so an outsider can become richer & so California can get this expensive gas!

Who's to blame for this LNG project getting this far?
The answer is all of us. Its true we get the government we deserve. Or as a friend of mine used to say (we have the best politicians money can buy). There is not one elected official representing us that openly opposes this LNG project. Which means they are privately for it . That should tell us who our government represents. The politicians I contacted were quick to wash their hands and represent that they have not formed an opinion on LNG, don't have the power to stop the process or they don't respond at all. That's crap and we know it. They were informed of its existence long before the general public was told. If they truly are not knowledgeable in the dangers of LNG then they aren't smart enough to have their job or they are too corrupt and should be replaced.

Right ........ and also to avoid how LNG will degrade and depress Coos county.
The upcoming national depression will probably delay or stop this sociopathic nonsense, but if it does come here anyway, then the best advice for sane residents who can move is to sell before property prices start dropping and it gets harder to sell.
FYI - Some buyers are holding off making offers until they know if the area will have air service to the north.

EARTHQUAKE, TSUNAMI, that's the number one threat to the tanks and the pipeline. Its not if it will happen, its when. Just watch the video on the December 2004 tsunami. Everything in the water will become a torpedo and the land will be wiped clean at water level. Where will those tanks be after the debris hits them, if those tanks even survive the earth quake. What will happen to one of those ships if its in the bay when the tsunami hits. We know that no government agency can stop a terrorist attack if they want to do it. So that should be enough reason to let common sense prevail and stop the insane notion of putting this boondoggle here. Remember we don't have this threat now why invite it. And no I'm not trying to scare anyone. There's enough scientific evidence to prove to just about everyone that its just a matter of time. We that live here know it and will accept the challenges of survival after the quake and tsunami, but your chances of survival are going to be reduced if your anywhere near an LNG catastrophe.

We all have to share this planet so I am from the same one you are on. And I have been here a long time. I realize that there is a"Good Ole Boys" system here, isn't there everywhere? Actually those GOB's seem to be the ones wanting these businesses here. Fear isn't the reason there are no industries here. It's because we don't have a straight route to I5 and it has been and always will be that way until we get one. We can also thank the environmental groups for shutting down the timber industry. There was more business here in the 40's than there is now. And fishermen made good money too. Tell me about kids leaving because there is nothing here...you are preaching to the choir. But listening to the same old arguments back and forth is not going to solve anything and neither is the LNG facility. I don't have the answer but you can't just blame the GOB's forever...well you can but what does that solve?

Others: 9.0 would ruin this area anyways, I haven't seen a 100 ft Tsunami lately, Lng will produce jobs, Lng is safe, etc.
Reality is: Lng was ignored by county & LUBA on Tsunami zone issue vs DLCD requirements. Lng will produce about 40 - 50 full time jobs that NO local resident will qualify for due to educational & experience requirements!

BRING LNG HERE, give us some real career opportunities, improve public safety and tax base, and the ancillary benefits of increased spending (hotel, travel, food, clothing, services, etc) this will obviously bring to the area regardless which side of the aisle you're on.

This is about an Lng structure (Having Hazardous material) being ignored engineering wise by the county & LUBA for placement in a Tsunami hazard zone in Oregon! This about how safe would this Lng structure be without making sure it is placed/installed correctly to meet DLCD requirements or anyone other engineering requirements to insure this is safe for this area or NOT? Who'll live or move away is unimportant, because people move all the time from place to place! Sounds like you are just trying to avoid this issue/situation by changing the subject, basically the oldest ploy in the book when arguing a losing battle!

WOW, can't believe anyone would argue for something (Hazardous material) being built in a Tsunami zone without properly insuring it's installation meets DLCD requirements or any other engineering requirements to withstand a 9.0 earthquake/Tsunami situation here? That's why building anything anywhere has permits, building requirements, etc. to insure it's safe installation so it will insure the people around it to be safe as well! Pathetic talk in here against insuring this potentially exposive structure is installed correctly in a Tsunami hazard zone!

I can see Bob's boys are gettin pretty desperate in here by sayin it's ok to blindly put this California LNG SCAM in a Tsunami hazard zone, just so some foreign investor can get RICHER & so California can get the gas! Such a DEAL for Oregon...

Tsunami zone? If anyone builds anything in Coos Bay or North Bend it will be in a Tsunami zone. Why do you think the town was first called Marshfield? Because it was built on the mud flats of the bay. And the earthquake zone? Sorry, the world is one big earthquake zone!
I am not saying LNG is the way to go but it is at least something. If you are going to gripe about why LNG sould not move in then give a real reason.
The next things you'll start to hear is, you know lightning might strike the tank when they are unloading the ship then what??? One of the people on the ship may be wearing corduroy pants that can build up a static charge and KABOOM! UFO's my show up and point there death ray at it and well you know what happens then! Give a valid reason and I will listen, until then, stop being so dooms day about what "IS" going to happen.

The concern here is a tsunami...now, I know that Jane/Common sense/Ronop, etc will yell "WEAK argument" and "LNG SCAM" and all...but...if we have a tsunami, I really think a problem at our local LNG facility will be the LEAST of our problems. Drive around CB/NB and tell me how many gas tanks, power lines, airports (goodbye, 10-million dollars) and other sources of risk exist, not to mention how many homes will be torn up or float away, none of which have been built with the codes and regs that a new lng facility will have.
And if a tsunami is such a huge and likely risk...why are we still here? Lets move somewhere safe, for crying out loud.

By its nature, an LNG terminal here is incapable of creating sustainable economic growth for any type of industry ......... and more likely will only further depress our area.
How stupid are we to believe these promised "JOBS'' trumps all, or even are for real???
Coos Bay was only a viable port for exporting cheap resources, aka 3rd world, which regardless of hype has passed us ......... or for maybe now importing something that no sane community would!
Let's please build upon what we are, A GREAT PLACE, rather than on what these hucksters fill us full of, as if we were a primative post-WWII cargo cult in the South Seas.

Oregon's Statewide Planning Goals and Guidelines: GOAL 7 Areas Subject to Natural Hazards - Effective June 1, 2002
Parts of Goal 7:
To protect people and property from natural hazards. Natual hazards for the purposes of this goal are:...earthquakes and related hazards, tsunamis, coastal erosion,...a. AVIODING DEVELOPMENT in hazard areas where the RISK TO PEOPLE AND PROPERTY cannot be mitigated; and, b PROHIBITING the siting of essential facilities major structures, HAZARDOUS FACILITIES ...B. Implementation 5.b. prohibiting the storage of hazardous materials in floodplains
Note: Essential facilities means you cannot build a school, fire dept, police dept, hospital or hazardous industry where they want to put this LNG terminal in Coos Bay. The JCEP is on the most vunerable spot for tsunamis.

How pathetic this state is ignoring a Tsunami zone wrote on Aug 11, 2008 8:47 AM:
Would anyone ignore proper installation of electrical, gas at their own house let alone ignore this Lng structure at Jordan Cove in a Tsunami zone? Shame on the county, LUBA & any other agency of Oregon ignoring something so potentially explosive as this Lng structure, because you are ignoring people's safety!
Hey Bob Braddock what you gonna do now wrote on Aug 11, 2008 8:04 AM:
Cat's out of the bag, your plan had no "real" technical engineering plan in the 1st place to withstand a 9.0 Earthquake or up to a 100 foot Tsunami wave & that's why everyone ignored it (The county, LUBA appeal board)! Now every citizen of this state knows what's going on & watching every step forward to make sure this is safe engineering wise & not just because you say it is! Can you tell this Lng at Jordan Cove is totally unsafe by everyone ignoring it the 1st time around or wouldn't ole Bob Braddock have the necessary engineering plan to meet DLCD requirements & say to everyone "see this is safe"???

Please read about the 6.4 magnitude Kobe Japan earthquake where the worst hit areas were the docks. Lots of liquifaction. Piping and pipelines burst with resulatnt fires. And the earthquake expected here, at 9.1, will be almost 1,000 times greater. Hopefully when one of those two 42,000 gallon LNG tanks (there may be more when the LNG facility expands)topples, it will head toward the sea, not toward my North Bend home.

This LNG project is unsafe why it was ignored engineering wise at Jordan Cove wrote on Aug 10, 2008 2:34 PM:
Who does Bob Braddock think he's fooling, this Lng struction had no detailed engineering blueprint presented to anyone, because there is none! That's why the county ignored DLCD wishes that urged counties to update their comprehensive plans to consider tsunamis in 2002, because the county (John Griffith) knew this project was doomed engineering wise to withstand a 9.0 Earthquake &/or up to a 100 foot Tsunami wave at Jordan Cove located in Oregon's Tsunami Hazard zone! Now you know why this appeal was created after the LUBA appeal, because the LUBA ignored it also! This struction/plan is totally unsafe & should be denied the necessary land permits by the state of Oregon due to that unsafe, unproven engineering plan that doesn't exist for this Tsunami Hazard zone at Jordan Cove!

There was no detailed engineering plans presented to the county (John Griffith) & LUBA by Bob Braddock, because he knew it wouldn't pass DLCD requirements of a structure placed in that Tsunami hazard zone at Jordan Cove! Bob Braddock tried to back door this project because he had NO technical engineering plan to place this structure in sand at Jordan Cove to withstand a 9.0 Earthquake with up to a 100 foot Tidal/Tsunami wave! Bob knew he would have to dig so deep to find bed rock (Costing him MILLIONS of $$$) to have a chance of getting this ok'd engineering wise that he made back door deals with the Port commissioner's, the county & anyone that would review this project for the necessary land permits needed to move forward with this adventure! Unless he buys off everyone in this state, this project is DEAD in the water engineering wise, because it's an accident waiting to happen if this goes in as is without any real engineering plan!

Mr. Prince is correct - It's been highly overlooked. You people railing on and on about how he's from Eugene are simply diverting from the issue, and that is that having a handful more minimum wage jobs in this area is not worth the safety issues!

Have to agree with prior posts, why wasn't this Tsunami zone issue addressed at the county level in the first place? This should convince residents of this area that good ole boy system John Griffith was being paid off to ignore this issue & many other issues found in LUBA appeal. Face the facts of this Tsunami issue, this LNG at Jordan Cove was not even reviewed engineering wise (Ignored in the first place), knowing full well it couldn't withstand a 9.0 + Earthquake or up to a 100 foot tidal/Tsunami wave! Maybe this time, the whole process (issues) will be reviewed technically in a legal manner vs being ignored due to back door pay off's!

On this LNG subject the best thing I ever did was read the web site www.jordancoveretort.com. I heard the guy took it down when he had a heart attack. Can anybody who knows the guy get it back. It was unbiased and very educational and covered every part of LNG including tsunamis where he interviewed experts in the state and federal government and at Oregon State.

A 100-foot tsunami? Where? I want to know both where you heard that drivel, and where on the coast there's been any hint of a tsunami that high (hint: the doubling of typical wave height does not take place in flat, sandy terrain, as is the norm around Coos Bay). I'm not saying that an LNG facility would be a bright idea at Jordan Cove (obviously careful study regarding the REAL impacts of earthquakes or tsunamis would be done)... just saying people on both sides are blindly swinging away at eachother, and need to become educated before they espouse their opinions on such a subject.
I won't hold my breath... regardless of the issues at-hand, there IS a reason why locals aren't really involved in decision processes such as this... they don't know a darn thing.

He should be removed before he does something else irresponsible to the concerns of local residents & to disregard Oregon's Tsunami hazard law (No new Schools, Hospitals, Library, fire & Police stations can be built in a Tsunami hazard zone).

And since nobody has figured out yet that the pipeline its self combined with the county getting paid from the contract they signed with Jordan Cove that would produce a lot of money for the County to hire deputies back, they want us to pay more taxes instead and have no jobs to! All cause there is a one in fifty bazillion chance something might happen theorethically if the conditions are just right maybe.
