Connections: Proposed Propane Storage Facility

Crestwood Energy wants to use a large salt cavern to store liquid propane gas, and the company promises to create 8-10 jobs in doing so. But Finger Lakes winemakers compare this plan to building a factory in Yellowstone National Park; they say it just doesn't fit with the successful tourism industry that has grown there. The discussion includes a representative of the company; a Syracuse geology professor who supports the project;  Finger Lakes winemakers who oppose it; and Savor Life radio host Michael Warren Thomas, who has helped organize opposition to the project.
