Shays Comment on Broadwater
Study
WASHINGTON, DC - Today, Save the Sound and the
Connecticut Fund for the Environment released their report
on alternatives to Broadwater. Congressman Christopher Shays
(R-CT), who opposes placing a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)
facility in Long Island Sound, released the following statement
on the study:
“Today’s report underscores our feeling that
the proposed Broadwater facility would cost more, in terms
of environmental impact, than it would benefit our local energy
needs,” Shays said. “While I support the use of
liquefied natural gas as a viable means to increase our energy
supply, I believe we need to make sure placement of LNG facilities
is safe for people and the surrounding environment.”
