A New York Times editorial published yesterday says the ongoing public discourse on the potential benefits and pitfalls of the proposed Broadwater LNG terminal is necessary. The paper says that while both sides have valid arguments, the company has yet to prove that the project would benefit Long Island. “A healthy skepticism cuts both ways, and we look forward to hearing the best arguments of those who would lead us down another path.” The editorial also recognizes that LNG “can be a reasonable step toward a saner future.” [Free registration necessary]
