State opposes LNG port on Prudence Island in NEPA clash
Rhode Island officials say the FPC cannot order a LNG terminal on Prudence Island before the GSA completes an environmental impact statement. NEPA requires transfer and land actions wait until the Eis, one year away if no lawsuits. TAPCO's project flags Prudence alongside Sears Island and St Johns as potential sites amid a Canada to Pennsylvania gas line plan. Public sentiment splits: Portsmouth backs, Newport opposes, while local leaders brace for more data.
