"Federal regulators announced Friday they won't reconsider their decision to deny permission for the Jordan Cove liquefied natural gas export terminal in Coos Bay and a feeder pipeline stretching halfway across the state.

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission issued a decision in March denying an application to build the $7.6 billion project.

Commissioners said backers failed to show enough of a public need for the project to overcome the negative impact on landowners along the Pacific Connector pipeline's 232-mile route. Essentially, regulators said the backers hadn't demonstrated any demand for the project."
