WITH BOTH OIL AND LNG IN KLAIPĖDA:
Environmental risks?

The small island Kiaules Nugara (Pig's back) in the southern part of the Klaipeda port, at the border between the port and the Curonian Lagoon is the most likely place to build Lithuania's planned LNG terminal. This means that it will regularly sail large tankers through the narrow strait between Klaipeda city and Neringa (which is now designated as one of the country's national parks). How risky can it be to get a gas terminal and such a heavy sea traffic close to the big city that Klaipeda after all is? What about the explosion and fire risk? What about emissions and other forms of pollution? Is the water, beaches and fisheries in the Curonian Lagoon at risk? May Neringa and Klaipeda city be at risk?

This is not a decent way for individuals need to take as much time as necessary and go moderate or who have children.You get those rate evil presences who hoard the way, go 30 miles 60 minutes, and couldn't care less who they keep running over to get to where they are going. I have been keep running more than 2 times and I was on the right side if the way. Be that as it may, they wear not mind by any stretch of the imagination. They have no appreciation for other individuals utilizing the ways by any stretch of the imagination. I have known about individuals utilizing plastic wrap, hung it up between 2 posts at stop signs. This trap got a couple of these evil spirits, sufficiently not. Perhaps hindrances along the ways everywhere throughout the city bicycle ways ought to have hindrances. It would beyond any doubt moderate them down.
