Greenpeace protests LNG sites in Mexico

Sempra and ChevronTexaco proposals for LNG facilities in Baja California--where environmental regulations are less stringent than in the Golden State--are being protested by the environmental group Greenpeace:

The environmental group Greenpeace staged a two-pronged action yesterday, sending boats from Ensenada and San Diego to the Coronado Islands to underscore opposition to two planned liquefied natural gas projects in Baja California.

Greenpeace may be right to protest the projects in Baja California, which seem to have chosen their location in order to avoid California's environmental protections, however, their opposition to Natural Gas seems to ignore the need to meet the State's energy needs in the short- to medium-term.
