The US Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) has approved construction of the Broadwater Energy liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in Long Island Sound, east of New York City.
The project would be able to deliver 1.25 billion cubic feet of natural gas a day to fuel electric generating plants and heat homes, helping to meet energy demand in New York and Connecticut, which share the sound, Reuters said.
The terminal is a joint venture between Shell US Gas and Power and TransCanada, and will be the first floating terminal in the US for storing and delivering LNG.
FERC said it had considered the safety concerns many citizens raised about the project.
“Based on all available scientific facts, we approve the Broadwater project today, subject to rigorous conditions, because it can meet the projected energy needs for New York City, Long Island and Connecticut, and can provide the service safely, securely and with limited adverse impact on the environment,” said FERC Chairman Joseph Kelliher.
The Broadwater terminal would consist of a floating storage and regasification unit measuring about 1215 feet long and 200 feet wide. It would rise about 80 feet above the water.
The project would be located nine miles off the New York coast near Riverhead, in Suffolk County, and 10 miles from the nearest onshore point in Connecticut.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
