Just some history: Boeing moved this plant to South Carolina after machinists unionized last year in Washington. Ha ha.

EDIT:

quote:

His manifesto includes:

  • Legalize the possession and distribution of child pornography;

  • End minimum age for consumption of alcohol;

  • Repeal Violence Against Women Act. "We need to switch to a system that classifies women as property, initially of their fathers and later of their husbands," Larson writes;

  • Legalize early marriage'

  • Legalizing suicide. "Legalizing barbiturates, heavy machine guns, etc. makes available reliable and peaceful means of suicide for those who need them," his manifesto reads;

  • Favors right to discriminate;

  • Legalize insider trading;

  • Puts forward the idea that Jewish state should be in "more defensible location," like the state of New Jersey;

  • End laws that ban felons from owning firearms.

Boeing is claiming that Unions have to be all or nothing at a factory. Personally I don't see why a particular subset of employees can't form their own union. All the machinist want to collectively bargain, go ahead!

I think Reuters is pro-Boeing.

Depends on what you're talking about. For power plants it's piped in. In Reno, the pipeline we were connected to extended from Canada in Tuscarora's pipeline. Also worked on gas compression in Wyoming for the REX for Kinder Morgan I think. That one extends from Wyoming to the end user on the USEC. In Europe the pipelines extend from Russia into Europe and there has been friction over the construction of new ones since one moves through Ukraine, which Russia wants to handicap.

It's only compressed to a liquid if it's going on a ship or for specialty plants. A ship will burn off the gas boiling off in its engines and to keep the rest of it liquid. When it reaches its destination it is regassified and put back in a pipeline. If you are using large volumes of gas it is piped in.

Generally gas and it's prices are measured in cubic feet or cubic feet/minute for volume and flow. Also energy density would be btu's and natural gas would be lower but that's not really a problem.

One interesting take on this that I've seen is Singapore, which is maintaining a massive strategic reserve of LNG designed to feed its plants directly. I'm sure there's a mechanism to regassify it locally, but it isn't meant to be fed into the mains.

My assumptions there would all be conjecture as I am assuming they have their own strategic worries about power and space is at a bit of a premium. Ships can act as floating LNG storage with the regas in the pipeline headed out so I don't see moving it to shore to be a big issue. That's interesting though, never thought about their energy.

It would have to be regassified to be burned so there would be a system for that outside of storage.

I did 2 weeks there years ago now and it turns out there was a fire either right before or even during my trip cuz I remember our group number which was start date (I think) and a couple of other identifiers.
