Need for Liquid Natural Gas Terminals in California

Coalition of Environmental Groups
Completed March 2004

Synapse evaluated whether California utilities should be allowed to enter into long-term contracts for liquid natural gas (LNG).  As part of this evaluation, Synapse investigated the need for additional natural gas supplies in California in light of the potential savings in gas use from the repowering of older, inefficient power plants and the potential impact of aggressive energy conservation and renewables on natural gas demand.  Project completed in March 2004.
