you would only consider spendingthe $ for an import and regasification terminal IF

1. there was an arbitrage opportunity betwixt the LNG import price, and the domgas price .......this has to be "landed" and regassified !
2. the size of the arb was large enough to provide > ROR >> cost of capital
3. the duration of expected arb >> length of funding duratuin .........

would need to lock-in sizable GSA's for a number of years to get this off the ground (imho)......
