Shell Oil and TransCanada are proposing to put Broadwater, an industrial, liquefied natural gas facility in Long Island Sound. New York Governor David Paterson will either approve or deny the Broadwater proposal soon. Call Governor Paterson at 518-474-8390 or 518-474-7516 and tell him to "Say NO to Broadwater." More info at: www.citizenscampaign.org/broadwater .
we need to stop becoming dependent on oil and should do this project i hate all the people who say its an inside job, or oh my god what if a terrorist blew it up? jeez get a life its going to have a 9 mile perimeter of security cutting off commercial fishing (another bad thing going on in the sound) and it will help the island get fuel to the homes that need it.

Another political hack job for people who think they have the right to decided who private citizens should purchase energy from.

General Electric's plant in Pittsfield MA dumps PCB's in the Housatonic River Headwaters there. This river flows to the Sound.
Hillary supports General Electric.

This is scary and of concern. Many people accuse environmentalists of nimby, ie there is gas over there dig it up and pipe it over there, then send it on my power lines to me. As the ny times editorial indicated, it is incumbent on our movement to be responsible and pro-active in serious conservation, and investing in renewables, including wind, sometimes visible from shore.

We have attended rallies and events including a NYC City Council meeting hastily arranged by Council Member Jim Gennaro who had initially floated a resolution to support this. NYC Council support for this would have been very bad fr the cause. No to Shell Oil and Broadwater. The last bit though about "choose a safer alternative" I would like to know more about. More renewable energy I presume, and not a shell gas liquification facility. Will send to Senate and Assembly members too.
