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.<BR/><BR/>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...Gabehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14313270027747810794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10214263.post-1168453381696794372007-01-10T13:23:00.000-05:002007-01-10T13:23:00.000-05:00If Broadwater isn't the solution, what is?

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?GMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16839216603164745797noreply@blogger.com
