- Energy demand is increasing: Approximately 40% of America's electrical power-generating plants are powered by clean natural gas.
- Natural gas sets the price of electric power in the Mid-Atlantic Region almost 50% of all hours
- Experts estimate a 15-to-30% savings over piped-in natural gas, now coming long-distances to Maryland.
- Over $13 million in State & local government sales, income, and property taxes each year.
- Direct good-paying jobs: Up to 4 million union man-hours during construction and 60+ permanent jobs.

- No government subsidies or taxpayer support.
- Beneficial long-term re-use of underutilized 80-acres on Sparrows Point industrial site.
- Spin-off commercial and industrial opportunities that can benefit from clean natural gas.
- Innovative re-use of dredge sediments may be used to kick-start a statewide program to recycle dredging material into roadbed or other concrete-like uses: An environmentally-preferred option to disposal sites.
