Angelides Throwing a "Hail Mary" on LNG

Desperate to revive his moribund campaign for governor, Phil Angelides is heading to Malibu on Friday to talk about LNG.

While we can only speculate what he will say, we have to believe that he will prostrate himself at the feet of the wealthy Hollywood movie stars who are opposing the Cabrillo Port project.

Let's hope Mr.Angelides isn't so busy pandering that he ignores the other side of the Malibu LNG question: California's need for affordable, sustainable, and clean energy alternatives.

Environmental and lifestyle impacts are certainly relevant factors to consider when making a decision on LNG, but they must not be the only factors under consideration. California is going to need more energy alternatives and if Mr. Angelides becomes Governor, the issue will be solidly on his plate.
