Islander East goes south
According to The Day, Islander East may have gone the way of the dodo (by Ted Mann).
I believe Islander East had eyed the "southeast quadrant" of the interchange zone for its (every-25-miles) pumping station that would have moved the gas through the proposed NG pipeline.

IC ZONE. They could do what they want. I'm glad it's not a pumping station. What a disaster if there ever was a leak.
Yeah! More big box stores, strip malls and apartments.
Will they really do that? Great!

One more typical not in my backyard reaction. That pump station could have generated plenty tax revenue with a high tech, low cost/impact on the community. The station would have been an interchange for one size line to another. It wasn't experimental, nuclear, etc.
Americans want to drive, stay warm and cool and have it all at virtually no cost. This was a poor decision by our liberal leaning courts egged on by our liberal stricken atty. general and governor.
Meanwhile we have no problem with most of New Englands oil stores being stored in New Haven Harbor,delivered by surface traveling barges across Long Island Sound; jet fuel going to Bradley via an above ground pipeline that follows the AMTRAK line up to Windsor Locks and a myriad of underground and above ground utilities crossing many properties in town. ( You probably have an oil tank in your basement for Gods Sake) Once again fear and a well organized environmental lobby has carried the day. Even our sewage and garbage ends up by design in the sound too.
By the way I do respect the environment and work proactively to conserve our natural resources. We can live, breathe and survive utilizing our brains, established laws and regulations and common sense.
Tim, are you a former Land Trust President?
Tim,
I've been a member since 1982...served on the governing board for over 20 years and served as its president 3 different terms. CLT goals seek to balance conservation and development. We'll hug a tree and trim a tree. Working with developers and conservationists, public officials and benefactors groups such like land trusts achieve conservation objectives in a planned approach to benefit the entire community.
