Well I think it would be fine to drill off the California coast some more...

I think these oil rigs off Santa Barbara are beautiful...

Not only that, drilling for oil relieves the pressure and you actually have LESS oil pollution because of that.

But I guess that would be a bad political move for him...

"drilling for oil relieves the pressure and you actually have LESS oil pollution because of that."

Absolutely true!

In the 40s and earlier you couldn't go on the beach from Santa Barbara to Mexico without getting covered with tar.

I can't understand why the enviro whackos are so against off shore oil drilling, it reduces polution instead of increasing it. There used to be a spot on the horseshoe kelp 6 miles off of Los Angeles that there was a constant flow of natural oil boiling to the surface, some balls as big a basketballs, that produced an oil slick as far as Mexico and after they drilled the oil island in Long Beach and Seal Beach it reduced the flow to a trickle.

The whackos should be delighted but instead they want the islands torn down and the rigs removed.
