California Governor Reaffirms Importance of LNG and Plans to Review BHP Billiton Proposal
Gov. Schwarzenegger reaffirmed his support for LNG as “a part of California’s energy portfolio,” in a press release Monday. His office also issued a statement yesterday to clarify the legal issues surrounding the Governor’s review of BHP Billiton’s proposed offshore LNG terminal and indicating that the Governor will continue his review of the project despite the California State Lands Commission’s decision to cease environmental review of the proposal and deny a lease of state lands for the pipeline to connect the terminal to California.
