Support for LNG in Ventura County

Letters to the Ventura County Star are sure to rile up Tim Riley:

We need natural gas

I attended a conference on energy choices presented by the World Affairs Council of Ventura County. One of the panelists, Joe Chow, public affairs manager of Southern California Gas Co., cited the need for more natural-gas sources. He stated, "liquefied natural gas is a source that is needed in California to ensure there is enough natural gas for the future." I agree 100 percent; this source of energy is needed in California.

Offshore project vital

We have been exporting liquefied natural gas to Japan and other countries for 20 years. We need it here. Our natural-gas prices are going up each year. We have the supply; what we need is a place for it to be processed and distributed. Finally, someone is willing to invest millions to build an offshore facility here in California, and right away people begin saying "not in my back yard." Shame on them.
