Galveston and the surrounding area will have the personnel and infrastructure to support a LNG fueling station, and I doubt it would receive the negative reception that Port Canaveral is experiencing. While I understand the environmental and economic benefits to LNG, I am concerned about the risk. While it has a very safe record, the potential risk worries me. A bad result is very unlikely, but that unlikely event could be very, very bad. For me though, everything in life is a risk, so I would gladly (and hope to) cruise on a LNG powered vessel. But I do think that an single accident could be so catastrophic that it would immediately end the use of LNG as a fuel, for passenger vessels anyway.
