What We've Heard: "The Sound has been "industrialized" for quite some time"

The Facts
This statement is untrue. There's a world of difference between delivering concrete, lumber, steel and fruit to Bridgeport and building a large scale industrial complex in the middle of the Long Island Sound estuary. There are currently no gas supply and storage facilities in the middle of Long Island Sound; Broadwater would be the first and it would be massive (8 billion cubic feet of storage). There's a coal plant in Bridgeport but that doesn't make Broadwater a good idea. In fact, it's an example of the "they did it, so we should be allowed to do it too" point of view that will turn Long Island Sound into a mess.

Broadwater or Fraudwater? You decide.
