Hearings sought for LNG Terminals

Environmental groups are calling for hearings on proposed Liquefied Natural Gas ports on the West Coast:

Ratepayers for Affordable Clean Energy says the California Public Utilities Commission should conduct hearings to determine whether the gas is needed. The coalition opposes LNG development on the West Coast, arguing that it won't reduce gas costs and is unneeded.

That depends on what "need" means...do we really need electricity?
