Shays Statement on Coast
Guard Broadwater Report
Congressman Christopher Shays issued the following statement
on the Coast Guard Report on the Broadwater Energy Liquefied
Natural Gas (LNG) Proposal:
“The Coast Guard’s report heightens my concern
about an LNG facility in Long Island Sound. Long Island Sound
is our Yellowstone. It would be irresponsible to site an industrial
facility in the middle of it, posing a safety and environmental
risk to such a precious natural and economic resource. As
a longtime advocate for protecting and preserving the Sound,
I believe the ends simply do not justify the means.”
