AG urges caution on LNG facilities
The Boston Globe

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. (AP)
