The private company has no experience in LNG operations or offshore construction. The project THREATENS: * American energy independence * Our environment * Our wallets * Our way of life <http://cleanoceanaction.org/lists/email_images/LNGTankerforWeb.jpg> LNG tankers are up to nearly four football fields in length DIRTY DETAILS ABOUT INSANITY ISLAND: * 14 times the size of Giants Stadium * Made with 14 million tons of fill – 10 times the volume of the Empire State Building * Marine life and habitat will be killed and destroyed * 19 miles from Sea Bright, NJ and 13 miles from Long Beach, NY LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) IS UN-AMERICAN: * LNG is a foreign fossil fuel from volatile sources like Russia, the Middle East, and Africa. * LNG is dirty -- up to 40% dirtier than American natural gas and it will increase carbon dioxide emissions and climate change. * American sources of natural gas are cheaper and plentiful—enough to meet our needs for 120 years. California, Connecticut, and New York have rejected LNG projects off their coasts. Our Governors must reject them here, too. New Jersey and New York must choose green and renewable domestic energy that creates thousands of good, sustainable jobs. Keep us free from LNG! ***MORE INFORMATION AND OTHER WAYS TO TAKE ACTION*** * Talking points about Insanity Island & LNG: <http://www.CleanOceanAction.org> www.CleanOceanAction.org or 732-872-0111 * Project application: <http://www.regulations.gov> http://www.regulations.gov (type docket number USCG-2007-28535) * Send written comments to the Docket Management Facility by February 9, 2009 (include Docket number USCG-2007-28535, your name and address) via: * Website: <http://www.regulations.gov> http://www.regulations.gov * Fax: 202-493-2251 (confirm receipt by telephone at 202-366-9329) * Mail: Department of Transportation, Docket Management Facility, West Building, Ground Floor, Room W12-140, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590-0001. ***This message is from The Wave, Clean Ocean Action’s exclusive action alert system that provides critical alerts about ocean pollution issues and ways to take action to protect your ocean.*** Clean Ocean Action * 18 Hartshorne Drive, Suite 2 * Highlands, NJ 07732 732-872-0111 * <mailto:sandyh...@cleanoceanaction.org> sandyh...@cleanoceanaction.org * <http://www.cleanoceanaction.org/> www.cleanoceanaction.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ Yahoo!
