Seems to me that if this guy is being targeted, he must have done something worse. Obviously the Sempra terminal just North of Ensenada took a whole
lot of beautiful real estate of the market. But I cannot understand why this guy is the target of their wrath. They got what they wanted.

Interesting. Only read part one so far. If I get a $2,000,000 wire transfer into my bank account does anyone monitor that?

cmon man! WORLD CLASS. Not my world. If you travel much you will realize that the"best of baja" is not even close to world class. You need to expand
your horizens.

I wonder what would happen if an airliner slammed into one of those holding tanks?

No survivors, just like when one hits any other solid object at flight speed.

I was thinking more like Ensenada and Rosarito goes bye bye.

This is somewhat similar to the current battle nob about the keystone pipeline. It involves foreign fuel sources that will travel to another country.
In the case of the Sempra project, the bulk of what they offload will find its way out of Mexico. In the case of the Keystone project, we are looking
at a Canadian project that contains horribly toxic crude. They don't want to run that through there country, but opted to create this pipeline that
will send this toxic stuff to the Texas gulf coast, where it will be refined, with great environmental damage to the area, and then ship it out to
China and alike. None of this has ever been destined for American consumers, but we are supposed to handle the potential damage of a pipeline breach
and deal with the pollutants release in the refining process, just so it can be shipped overseas.
The Canadians are taking us for fools.

Gas storage tanks have exploded in a few places, right... they never flattened a 50 mile radius, did they? It isn't a nuclear bomb... and there is no
town there... I doubt if it would even harm BajaMar, over the hill???

Having worked in the natural gas industry for 34+ years I can tell you there is a circle of death. even if that plant and it's tanks exploded
simaltaneously there would only be consequence to the surrounding area of about a mile in each direction. the initially blast would travel outward
then upward in all directions. anyone inside the circle obviously would not survive. hopefully they use adequate cathodic protection on all the tanks
and piping other wise it's just a ticking time bomb. natural gas is lighter than air unlike propane which would lay on the land and roll out much
further then natural gas would.

Thanks for the facts on that... I wanted to be sure, because Ateo is a gasoline storage expert, and his statement seemed a bit extreme saying Ensenada
and Rosarito would be destroyed.

The funny thing is the circus began when Sempra gave up on EPA problems and moved the facility into friendly Mexico, eighty miles south of San Diego.
Corruption involved? Of course. This is the land where money talks and BS walks.
The only gas Mexico will see from this facility is what they receive as handouts which will have to moved by truck or boat. No pipelines or rail lines
remotely close.
They do have a nice, new pipe from the facility back to the USA.
The permits are probably paid on a monthly basis with remittances sent to DF.
