The Farm Bureau of Ventura County unanimously voted to endorse BHP Billiton’s proposed Cabrillo Port LNG terminal. In expressing support, Farm Bureau CEO Rex Laird said that domestic supply disruptions following Hurricane Katrina highlighted the need for more gas “to help sustain the long-term viability of our $1 billion agricultural industry here in Ventura County.” According to anti-LNG activist Rory Cox, the Farm Bureau supported energy deregulation in the 1990s and “[t]hey were proven wrong then, and they’ll be proven wrong with LNG.” The Ventura County Reporter has the story.
