Coalition Questions Need for LNG in California
Posted on Feb 7, 2008 in Environmental, Regas Terminals & Capacity, State and Local Issues | Comments Off on Coalition Questions Need for LNG in California
Ratepayers for Affordable Clean Energy and other environmental groups filed comments with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) questioning the need for LNG imports to California. RACE asserted that LNG imports to the state are unnecessary due to plentiful U.S. domestic natural gas supplies and relatively static demand. The group also noted that the greenhouse gas emissions from the anticipated LNG are greater than those from domestic natural gas currently supplying the California electricity market. The filing is available on the CPUC website under Docket No. R07-11-001, and California Energy Markets (carried via Energy Central Professional [subscription required]) provides additional details.
