LNG report finalized

Members of a state-appointed task force studying liquid natural gas signed a final report Thursday that all but condemns an LNG terminal in Baltimore County?s Sparrows Point peninsula proposed by a Virginia-based energy corporation.

Meeting for the last time, the task force finalized a report days before Vienna-based AES Corp. expects to file its formal application with the federal energy commission that will ultimately approve or deny the $400 million project. The majority of task force members decided to also sign a separate statement deeming the project against the best interests of citizens.
