In 2007, working with the Anti-Broadwater Coalition, which was comprised of environmental and civic groups, the Society, actively opposed the construction of a Liquefied Natural Gas factory proposed for Long Island Sound.  Little of the LNG imported would go to Long Island, the construction and operation would have harmed the environment and begin the industrialization of Long Island Sound and posed a serious risk of accident or terrorist attack.

Moreover, the introduction of additional foreign fossil fuels would delay the development of solar, wind and other alternative sources which would be cleaner and more sustainable.  The federal government has enormous power to approve the siting of LNG facilities, so environmentalists worked to ensure that Long Island, New York State and Connecticut had as much input as possible in the decision making concerning the Broadwater scheme – a joint effort of Trans Canada and Shell Oil. Ultimately, the plan was rejected by the Federal Government, and the Long Island Sound remained intact.
