It's one of those odd stories.
Rugen Island, for those who aren't familiar with it....is marginally an island. It's placed about about 40 miles west of the Poland-Germany border, and connects to the homeland with a one kilometer bridge.
What the main industry is for the island? Tourism, some fishing vessels, and a small port.
There's been activity around Rugen over the past year.....the German government settled on the idea of having a liquid natural gas (LNG) port there.
Locals? Lately, they've been pretty peeved and they want some attention to the coalition government....meaning they are going somewhat negative about both the Greens, and the SPD Party.
All of this getting public and commercial TV news attention? Absolutely.
The fact that the LNG ports have to be 'somewhere' and that Hamburg is 'coughing-up' space for two of them? Yeah.
A danger to tourism? All you need is one ship to blow up and folks will freak out.
