AES, Inc., the energy con­glom­er­ate with designs for a LNG tanker ter­mi­nal on Boston Harbor’s Outer Brew­ster Island (cur­rently a national park), has paid Regan Com­mu­ni­ca­tions to run a phony “grass-roots cam­paign” in sup­port of the project. Their cur­rent approach is to con­vince peo­ple that the exist­ing Everett LNG ter­mi­nal is threat­en­ing their lives, and there­fore they should sup­port the con­struc­tion of this one, which is futher away. Curi­ously they have also stated that this ter­mi­nal would not replace the Everett one, but would sup­ple­ment it. You’re on your own to under­stand the logic.

Any­way, as with every grass-roots cam­paign, this one has a “blog”.

Com­ment away over there, fel­low island-lovers!
