Victory! Governor Cuomo vetoed the proposed Port Ambrose
liquefied natural gas facility! His quick decision, a week after the final
public hearings, showed that this project was dangerous and unnecessary!
Waves of thanks to you and to the thousands of citizens and over
150 organizations who fought side by side for over seven years to stop LNG off
our coast. This battle was won through the dedication and determination from
concerned citizens and a strong bi-state coalition we helped to create. The
grassroots activism, hours of research, and public pressure helped keep our
ocean wild and LNG free.

We will continue to monitor this issue to make sure the Maritime
Administration rejects this project as quickly as possible. Even though Governor
Cuomo’s veto has stopped the proposal, it is critically important that Governor
Christie affirm his vow to veto Port Ambrose, making this a bi-state and
bipartisan victory, as well as a warning to fossil fuel companies to stay away
from our coast.
Liberty at last - Port Ambrose is officially dead in the
water! We will continue to work tirelessly against any fossil fuel
infrastructure off the New York and New Jersey coast.
