Environmental Groups: Don't Import Natural Gas [View all]
By Anita Hofschneider 10/23/2012
Hawaii Gas wants to bring liquefied natural gas to Hawaii to help lower the cost of energy.
But environmental groups oppose the move and are working to prevent it for environmental reasons.
The Sierra Club and the Blue Planet Foundation filed motions with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission late last week to intervene in the Hawaii gas company's attempt to import the fossil fuel.
Hawaii Gas asked FERC for approval to import LNG in August. The application (pdf) is still pending. The company hopes that natural gas will help improve the state's energy efficiency as well as reduce costs for consumers.
