Broadwater LNG Battle Intensifies

Westport News - Broadwater LNG Battle Intensifies
On Tuesday, 700 protesters rallied against the proposed liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal prior to a hearing in Branford. And some Westporters and other Fairfield County residents joined the effort, according to press reports.

The Connecticut Post, a sister paper of the Westport News, reported: "The battle over the proposed Broadwater floating gas terminal in Long Island Sound ignited Tuesday as opponents told federal regulators the nearly $1 billion project would be a disaster for the Sound and those who enjoy the waterway."
