Surfers oppose Baja LNG Plant

Global Surf News comes out swinging against Sempra and ChevronTexaco plans to build liquefird natural gas terminals in Mexico to serve the California market:

In an attempt to flee environmental and safety regulations in the U.S., Sempra/Shell and Chevron/Texaco are pushing forward with their proposed LNG regasification plants in Baja California. Pro Peninsula and a global coalition of organizations and citizens are continuing the campaign to halt the destruction of Baja California’s natural environment through ongoing workshops, press conferences, marches and other events in Ensenada, Tijuana, and southern California.

These projects are designed to serve the U.S. market. Mexico is not the environmental dumping ground of the U.S.

And, dud, that's totally bogus!
