Ohio State Route 11 (click for larger verion)

Here’s a fascinating development. Years ago, MDN heard the rumor of the potential to export LNG from a deepwater port along the shore of Lake Erie. The state of Ohio has just allocated $250,000 to study a pipeline in the “Lake to River” region of the state, which stretches from Columbiana County north through Mahoning, Trumbull, and Ashtabula counties. The pipeline could, potentially, flow Utica (and Marcellus) molecules from eastern Ohio (and possibly western PA) northward not only for potential liquefaction and export via a port in Ashtabula, but to feed new power plants in the region and even deliver low-cost natural gas to utility companies.
