Short educational presentation given to the staff of Senator Charles Schumer of New York on the dangers and pitfalls with the proposed Port Ambrose Liquified Natural Gas Terminal proposed just outside the New York City Harbor. In PDF and Open Document Text (ODT). In brief:

● Encourages fracking industry in NYS area
● Ties NYS to carbon-based, polluting economy
● High probability of explosion and fire
● Over 24,000 NYS voters submitted comments opposing Port Ambrose
● Port Ambrose would displace a renewable energy offshore windfarm rated at 700 MW
● Offshore wind farm would create thousands of NYS jobs (for NYS voters), as compared to 6 with Port Ambrose
● Total economic impact of wind farm projected to be $3 billion in sales and $1 billion in wages
