Governor seeks gas price assurances amid LNG opposition
Governor Edmund G Brown Jr says legislative resistance to LNG dependence will curb any rush to LNG. He plans a second Washington meeting with President Carter to secure low natural gas prices for California and will weigh Alaska oil terminal plans only with guaranteed gas supplies. Brown cites exploring Elk Hills reserves, offshore sites, and gas fields in Canada and Mexico as alternatives and notes potential pollution trade offs in Southern California. He expects a site decision by early next year and warns LNG safety and cost concerns persist.
