In 1865 Lincoln was shot by an actor. Should all actors be placed in jail, all guns controlled by government?
That is just as silly as an oil policy based on an oil blow out in 1969. Get over it. In fact, more oil seeps up, naturally, in a year, than the oil lost in 1969 in Santa Barbara.
"The U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS) estimates there are 10.5 billion barrels of oil and 2 to 3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas recoverable off the California coast. If the petroleum industry had access to those resources, their production could reasonably replace every drop of Californias foreign oil imports (at todays rate of imports) for more than 30 years. This would certainly improve our energy security.
Increased California production also would create more jobs a great benefit in todays climate of record unemployment.
Currently, the petroleum industry supports employment for about 370,000 hard-working Californians, providing a good living and much-needed benefits to those workers and their families."
We need rational policies, not policies based on hate and ignorance. When will we make policy based on reality instead of Luddite policy?
