Public Interest: What is the Public Interest?

Natural gas facilities and public apprehension I see a number of the U.S. natural gas related projects progressing—presented, community involvement, permitting, engineering, construction, and process operation—but, as for public input, I fail to see or recognize where public input is considered—enabling or stopping these projects. It’s a no-win game for public comments Since, it is […]

What I don’t know about natural gas?

This industry is moving ahead with permits and construction planning, but still missing is stakeholders (community people’s) fact information published prior to requesting stakeholder’s comments about these projects. Tacoma stakeholders (the citizens) need more factual […]
