MACK POINT TANK FARM 

Fourteen-Story-Tall Propane Storage Tank Proposed For Searsport’s Mack Point. 

Twenty-two, seven zero zero, zero zero zero gallons! 

Twenty-four-seven noise: tankers, rail, compressors. 

Explosive. 

Ugly.

PROPANE

C3H8, or CH3CH2CH3
A gas heavier than natural gas
But lighter than gasoline
Forms in pools on the ground

Odorless anesthetic
Will put you to sleep
Explosive at any concentration
Can cook you a nice hamburger
22 million gallons at your doorstep
Have a Nice Day
