Newbie New York Governor David Paterson has put the kibosh on a proposal for a liquefied natural gas terminal in Long Island Sound. Paterson and other outspoken opponents say the Broadwater project would damage the sound and be a floating terrorist target. Oil companies TransCanada and Shell, which are pushing the project, point to LNG as a source of clean energy, and say they'll seek other avenues for regulatory approval.sources: Associated Press, Bloomberg, Reuters
