Re: there's no such thing as a gas market (none / 0)

is this also problematic because gas shipping terminals are very expensive and difficult to make safe, as well as being a terror dream target?

I don't think they are more expensive or difficult to make safe than a large chemical plant.

Like Bhopal, you mean?
iirc, the ships themselves are very vulnerable too.

Not every chemical plant is like Bhopal. And not every industrial accident goes (shoud go?) unrepaired.

I'm sure you can find examples of disaster caused by organic farming (a humanure spill upriver of a drinkable water uptake? :-)
