The Malibu area has been buzzing since a video was added to The Edge’s website in the last several weeks, perhaps in anticipation of an upcoming California Coastal Commission hearing on the proposal. Against a  track of New Age music, with birds tweeting in the background, fawning proponents of The Edge’s plans praise the Malibu project. His supporters include Bonny Reiss, Gov. Schwarzenegger’s former senior advisor, and, more surprisingly, Mark Massara, head of the Sierra Club’s Great Coastal Places Campaign.
“It’s going to take those visionary leaders being associated with projects like these, that are going to show how to make the California coastline a model of sustainability,” Massara says on the video, in which he all but encourages the Coastal Commission to embrace the proposal. Clearly The Edge is lining up all the political muscle and environmentalist star power he possibly can. The Edge even got a well connected PR and lobbying firm California Strategies backing him up.
