Paying Lip Service to LNG in Malibu.

State Sen. Sheila Kuehl and Asembly Member Julia Brownley were in Malibu on Saturday to meet with the Malibu Democratic Club. When pressed on LNG-- according to the Malibu Times-- both worshiped at the obligatory altar of the coastal NIMBY's, but neither said it was their top priority.

[Note: no politician speaking in Malibu will say anything good about LNG-- it's like going to Iowa and saying you oppose farm subsidies and ethanol].

Interestingly, the Times reports that Kuehl said she wasn't opposed to LNG in concept and Brownley seemed to indicate that her opposition to LNG (and energy imports in general) was derivative of her interest in reducing vehicle traffic.

Rather bland stuff compared to the fire and brimstone rhetoric we are used to hearing out of the privileged colony.

Mercifully, this whole saga is finally moving forward. As the Malibu Real Estate blog noted (isn't Google great? To think I actually had "look for" this stuff before!), the State Lands Commission meeting is in April in Santa Barbara and everyone should attend...
