Today is last day to submit comments on LNG facility

As many of you may know, Liberty LNG has again applied to build a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) facility off the coast of New York and New Jersey. The project, called “Port Ambrose”, would host massive natural gas tankers that will lead to an acceleration of hydraulic fracturing in the northeast by opening up a gateway for LNG exports. This project is the same project previously vetoed by Governor Christie in 2011. It may have a new name, but it is in the same place and has the same impacts, dangers, and drawbacks.

TODAY, August 22nd is the last day to submit public comments.

Please help protect the waters off New York and New Jersey by submitting comments and urging friends and family to do the same!
