In this edition of At C Level, host David Reich-Hale sits down with John D. Hofmeister, president of Shell Oil Co., to discuss one of the hottest topics on Long Island: Broadwater.
Hofmeister, whose employer will jointly operate the facility along with TransCanada, explains why Long Island needs the floating liquid natural gas terminal, and why other alternatives just won't cut it.
The energy exec also confronts the anti-Broadwater claims made by Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal.
Let's say, that's when the conversation really heats up.
