Coastal Commission Staff Says No Desal

by The Editors on November 3, 2007

The Surfrider Foundation has already stated that and the Agua Hedionda lagoon is the wrong place for the Poseidon Resources desalination factory. Now, according to the North County Times the staff of the California Coastal Commission is recommending a no vote on the project as well.

The staff of the California Coastal Commission, after months of reviewing information, said the project should be denied because it would harm marine life and water quality, hurt Agua Hedionda lagoon, and create millions of pounds of “green house gases” every year that could add to global warming.

Poseidon Resources is quoted as saying that they “were not surprised by the recommendation, but disputed the findings and said they thought commissioners would still approve the project.” Maybe they know something we don’t know.
