As a concerned Long Islander, I wonder why Shell Oil Company wants to site the Broadwater LNG (liquid natural gas) factory in Long Island Sound on the New York side rather than the Connecticut side of this water body. Why was there a Newsday picture of New York City Mayor Bloomberg with Shell Oil’s president at a recent Urban League national convention? Why is Shell Oil being sued for human rights violations? Why did Broadwater/Shell give $10 million dollars to a mainly African-American organization? Why did LIPA hire a consultant to undertake a so-called “independent” study of Broadwater? Why do recent Greenpeace studies report that LNG is a filthy fuel, almost as dirty as coal? Puzzling over these questions led me to undertake research that helped me understand the truth about Broadwater.
