HO, re: "...a regasification plant that ExxonMobil currently plans to build in Sabine, Texas" and from that NY Times article Natural Gas: Big Worry This Winter you cited the other day:
The United States currently has five [LNG] terminals for importing natural gas. Regulators have approved the construction of eight more; all but one are planned in coastal areas of Louisiana and Texas that are prone to hurricanes.
Location of these facilities are subject to Not In My Backyard (NIMBY) politics but recent events would seem to confirm the Times' statement that these GOM coastal areas are subject to some pretty nasty weather ;)

Protecting America's NG supply by building accidents waiting to happen.

We have 2 about to be approved here in Or-e-gone.

Natty gas is coming form the Sakhilin Islands in Russia.

From what I've seen, natural gas from LNG will cost about $8-9, if everything goes as planned.  Still no bargain here, ahhh the days of $2.00 natual gas.
