Fall River LNG Terminal Under Threat by Federal, State Bills

摘要

Plans for the Weaver's Cove LNG project in Fall River, Massachusetts, could be at risk if one or both of a pair of proposed bills are ultimately passed into law — one under active discussion in the US Senate, another in the Massachusetts state legislature.The bill, sponsored by Massachusetts Sens. John Kerry and Ted Kennedy, was temporarily nixed by the the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee last week. It would have designated 40 miles of the Taunton River in Massachusetts as "wild and scenic" under the National Park Service's protected rivers system.
