I would love to know which one of the Hollyweird types would be able to see this plant, 14 miles offshore. I mean, I know their beachfront mansions afford them great visibility, but I don't know many folks who could see that from 14 miles away.

They could probably see it on a very clear day, but they can see the tankers and other shipping going by off the coast on most days anyway. The terminal wouldn't be any worse that seeing shipping. At it's closest point, Santa Catalina Island is abut 20 miles off the Palos Verdes Peninsula, and you can't see it from the mainland except on an exceptionally clear day.

Precisely!
