- Summary:
- "When natural gas was discovered in Appalachia in the 19th century, its development and growth as a fuel was rapid. A 1944 disaster in Cleveland, when an LNG tank ruptured and caused a fire with 130 fatalities, caused the industry to pause. In 1959 a shipload of LNG went from Louisiana to Britain and restarted the LNG industry"-- Provided by publisher.
