Background

Liberty LNG Terminal was a proposed LNG terminal in New Jersey, United States. New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed the proposal in 2011, citing risks to New Jersey's shoreline, tourism, and fishing and shellfish industries. Liberty Natural Gas withdrew its applications to build the import terminal in 2015, saying they had withdrawn the application to avoid confusion when filing permits for a "substantially revised" project. Liberty Natural Gas said they would refile at a later date. However, to date there is no indication that Liberty Natural Gas will in fact refile.
