If Broadwater isn't the solution, what is? Would you prefer for there to be a LNG terminal in Bridgeport on land? Or in Branford, or somewhere on Long Island? I've never heard anyone who is opposed to Broadwater say where they would rather have an LNG terminal.
Electricity in the United States is generated through a variety of methods. There's nuclear, oil, natural gas, hydropower, coal and a few windmills.
If we decide that LNG won't work for environmental reasons (and let's face it: even through natural gas burns cleanly, you got to have a way to get the stuff to the power plant), will coal be better? I don't think Connecticut has enough rapidly flowing rivers to make Hydropower an option. Nuclear is unrealistic to add capacity. So oil fired plants?
GMR - You have a great point. My personal feeling is that the middle of the sound is the absolute worst possible place to put a LNG terminal, but there really aren't any good options.
That said, looking at Broadwater individually isn't very helpful - we have to change our entire energy outlook - consumption as well as where the energy comes from...
The economics professor cites the Card and Krueger study on NJ minimum wage. That study is reportedly Highly flawed
