Howard Bowers, chairman of the Atlantic Sea Island Group, told the Philadelphia Inquirer that he hopes the Safe Harbor LNG terminal will benefit the environment, as well as offering economic benefits to natural gas consumers in the region. “We’re building a marine sanctuary with the island, where species can begin to regenerate while we are creating an energy solution for the region that could lower costs for consumers and reduce the emissions of methane gas into the atmosphere by transporting natural gas in a more efficient way,” he said. However, the Inquirer also notes that several elected officials and residents have pledged to oppose the project.
