Proposed Liquified Natural Gas Terminal in New York, United States

Broadwater Energy was a Liquefied Natural Gas Terminal proposed to be built in Long Island Sound between New York State and Connecticut. The project received vociferous objections from Connecticut officials and some New York state officials. New York state officials had yet to decide whether to issue permits for the project as of March 2008, and Governor David Paterson said he might postpone a decision, originally scheduled to be made in April 2008 on whether to support the terminal.2 Wikipedia text CC BY-SA 4.0
