LA City Council calls on governor to close Playa Del Rey gas facility
LOS ANGELES - The Los Angeles City Council has called on Gov. Gavin Newsom to close the Playa del Rey natural gas storage facility, which experts believe is at high risk for tsunamis, wildfire and endangering residents.
Wednesday's resolution -- which was introduced by Councilman Mike Bonin and passed with 13 yes votes and two members absent -- noted that a 2018 study by the California Council on Science and Technology found that the facility "stands out as a facility with relatively higher risk to health and safety than the other facilities in California."
