MOBILE, Ala. (AP) - Alabama Gov. Bob Riley has rejected plans by
a Texas company for an offshore liquefied natural gas terminal in
the Gulf of Mexico.
Riley announced Thursday that he has rejected the project
proposed by Houston-based TORP Technology for a site about 60 miles
south of Fort Morgan.
In a statement, Riley said he was extremely concerned about the
$500 million project's potential environmental impact on marine
life.
Riley said TORP officials, unable to get his support, have
withdrawn their application for the project.
