I have been reading all the articles about The Gas Company’s inability to provide natural gas for the South Coast Area Transit buses after the natural gas pipeline rupture in the Piru landslide. I was surprised to learn that The Gas Company had just one way to get natural gas to the Oxnard fueling station.

Denise King, from The Gas Company, acknowledged that there were problems that were “unanticipated or out of our control.”

Now what will happen if California becomes dependent on liquefied natural gas from foreign countries, and the supply is suddenly cut off? This could easily happen. Shipments of LNG would certainly be stopped if there were an LNG accident or a terrorist attack on an LNG tanker ship anywhere in the world.

We don’t dare become dependent on ships bringing LNG across the sea.
