Next LNG Trucking Public Meeting in Savannah February 2

The Feds have set the next public input event for El Paso Energy's LNG trucking request for February 2,
AKA Groundhog Day. Perhaps they are hoping the public will see El Paso's shadow and not come out for this meeting.

It is vital that we make our presence felt and voices heard!

If El Paso gets its way, there will be an additional fifty-eight loaded LNG trucks going out and fifty-eight empty LNG trucks coming into Savannah on DeRenne every day. That makes 116 tanker trucks per day on roads that are already crowded.



Here's the details-
