With several companies planning to transport liquefied natural gas to ports in Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts, Attorney General Patrick Lynch is questioning the need for multiple facilities in New England. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission is considering more than a dozen proposals to expand or build liquefied natural gas terminals across the country, and at least three are in southern New England. Lynch said the three proposals here, along with plans to build a terminal in Maine and an unloading facility in federal waters off of Gloucester, Mass., need thorough review on a regional level, not just project by project.
