New York Gov. Paterson Rejects Long Island Sound LNG Terminal. By Frank Eltman, AP, April 10, 2008. "New York Gov. David Paterson said Thursday that New York won't approve plans for a $700 million liquefied natural gas terminal in Long Island Sound, a project supporters say would reduce utility bills but that critics say would be an environmental hazard and a possible terrorist target. Paterson joins Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell and a host of elected officials on both sides of the sound who oppose the project, known as Broadwater... The 1,200-foot-long, 82-foot-high terminal would be located 9 miles from Long Island and 10 miles from Connecticut. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission says it would be the first floating terminal in the U.S. for storage and delivery of natural gas... Broadwater Energy, a joint venture of Shell Oil and TransCanada Pipelines Ltd., still could appeal to the U.S. Department of Commerce."
