Compromised DRBC Votes 3-2 to Suspend NJ LNG Export Dock Permit

We suppose we shouldn't be surprised, but we're frustrated nonetheless that the Delaware River Basin Commission (DRBC) has caved to extremist pressure and voted to reverse (at least for now) a permit it previously granted to New Fortress Energy to build a dock in the Delaware River that would allow LNG tanker ships to tie up and load up on Marcellus LNG transported from northeastern PA. The radicals of the far-left THE Delaware Riverkeeper pressured (i.e. bullied) DRBC members to block the project--because Riverkeeper irrationally hates fossil fuels. Riverkeeper compromised three of the five DRBC voting members--New York, New Jersey, and Delaware.
