GARDEN CITY, N.Y. — The U.S. Commerce Department on Monday announced its opposition to a proposed massive floating liquefied-natural- gas terminal in the Long Island Sound.
Environmentalists hailed the decision as a victory over “the corporate Goliaths of our time.” Politicians in New York and Connecticut have campaigned for several years to stop the project.
The terminal would have been the length of four football fields and about eight stories high. After New York Gov. David Paterson ruled against the project last year, Broadwater — a consortium of Shell Oil and TransCanada Pipelines — appealed to the Commerce Department.
