The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review is reporting that a state court rejected arguments by the Sierra Club designed to prevent Dominion Resources, Inc., from exporting LNG from its Cove Point facility: "Calvert County Circuit Judge James Salmon said in a ruling that under the company‘s 2005 agreement with the environmental group, Richmond, Va.-based Dominion retains the right to pipe liquefied natural gas, or LNG, from Cove Point, taking advantage of natural gas production in bountiful shale formations in Pennsylvania and other states. *** 'The agreement specifically allows for ‘delivery by pipeline of LNG from the LNG terminal site,‘' Salmon stated in his 10-page opinion. 'This plainly allows the tankers at the pier to receive LNG from the terminal site.'"
