The future of a major liquified natural gas facility proposed for northeastern Pennsylvania was thrown into question Monday after its developer settled a legal challenge brought by environmental activists.
A subsidiary of New Fortress Energy Inc. agreed to pull the plug on its proposed LNG plant in Wyalusing — at least for now — in an agreement with a coalition of environmental groups that filed suit seeking to overturn the company’s air emissions permit.
The $800 million plant was intended to liquify million of gallons of natural gas from the Marcellus Shale gas field per day, with the liquified gas to be transported by rail or truck more than 175 miles (281 kilometers) to a proposed New Fortress export terminal in Gibbstown, New Jersey, along the Delaware River near Philadelphia. From there, the LNG would have been loaded onto ships for overseas delivery.
PennFuture, the Clean Air Council and the Sierra Club took legal action to block the project. Under a settlement announced Monday, a New Fortress subsidiary agreed to halt construction and allow its air emissions permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection to lapse. If it wants to restart the project, the company will need to begin the state permitting process over again, according to settlement documents.
Environmental groups had raised concern about air and water pollution near the proposed Wyalusing facility, as well as the risk of catastrophe during transport to New Jersey by either truck or train. New Fortress had obtained a special federal permit from the Trump administration to move the liquified gas by rail; the company applied for a renewal of that permit in November.

GOOD! Let the LibTaints freeze all of their constituents to death. The ones left alive will vote Conservative.
Enemies domestic...
Pretty stupid when you live where it can get mighty cold.....
There is only one solution, and it ain't going to be pretty. The sooner the better.
Stuff like this is eventually going to cause a backlash from the masses. It seems that petroleum is under attack on every front. Alternative energy is not ready for prime time. People can’t afford $100k EVs. Solar and wind power are complete taxpayer funded boondoggles. Nuclear isn’t alternative, but proven and verboten.
If only there was a way to transport gas without using trucks or trains. If only. Somebody ought to invent something.
NY State is sitting on tons of natural gas. But Demwits would rather sit by and let Binghamton, Cortland, and other cities wither on the wine. Thank God for Buck Stoves.
We just don’t understand these “activists”.
See, Mom just turns up the thermostat, when it gets cold.
These reprobates were moderately entertaining when they hauled their stinky asses up some Redwood tree right before the saws came. Now they’ve gone too damn far. Just like petulant children of unworthy parents, they do receive a comeuppance. There’s a big one on the way.
Folks,
this is the test. buy your stickers now and use them often.
So one small thing for the revolution. Our Founding Fathers did this. The British tried to destroy all the printing press to stop the revolution.
More like their war against the USA. They are domestic enemies hellbent on destroying this country because they absolutely hate it more than the “death to America” Islamo Nazis in Iran.
Did you ever think in a million years “Make America great again” would be portrayed as offensive and racist? They hate this countries guts, they hate that 70% of the population is white, they hate how many rich people exist in this country, they hate how successful it has been and they aim to destroy it and they realized the fastest way to do that is to destroy the energy used to run this country.
They damn well know switching everything to electric will never work in a million years, but they don’t care. They will only be satisfied when whites are a minority, the constitution is gone, the rich no longer exist and the US is a socialist 3rd world hellhole.
When the agitators turn in every single item they have that is associated with the petro industry in ANY manner, maybe. Probably not. If, IF, they really really cared they would take themselves out of the equation. Butt, nooooooooooo......
Most environmental group get funding from our enemies.
Fact.
These groups are working with and for Mother Russia.
Shut it down - Right on!
THIS WAS FOR EXPORT, we should use it locally or leave it in the ground.
Let the euro weenie freeze...
We have safe nuclear capabilities. Namely Thorium molten salt reactor technology, which has been around since the 1960’s.

The evil PTB ignore it because what they really want is not safe and plentiful low cost electricity, but rather the opposite; which gives them the ability to ration energy as a tremendously effective way to control what we do.
I hope the weenies freeze in the dark.
“GOOD! Let the LibTaints freeze all of their constituents to death.”
The problem is they want everyone else to freeze along with them.
“The ones left alive will vote Conservative.”
How much would you like to bet?
BTW, I have a beautiful oceanfront villa in Arizona I’m selling cheap.
Don’t want an oceanfront villa?
I’ve got this bridge in New York, practically brand new. Yours for a song and dance!
