"You don't want to be nearby when that happens"

Until they drilled the wells on the Long Beach and Seal Beach platforms their was large volumes of oil and gas boiling to the surface on the horseshoe kelp 7 miles off Long Beach harbor.

Same thing in the Santa Barbara Channel.

Before the platforms and drilling there was a giant oil slick from the Channel Islands to Mexico and all the beaches were covered with oil and tar.

I was aware of the oil slicks. The environmentalists just have to "save" us from evil oil drilling. It might get some oil on the beach. Ignorance. Not to mention the ads decrying drilling in ANWR accompanied by pictures of a lush forest. The liars are afraid to show the barren 2000 acres of ice at the proposed site. The sheeple won't make any effort to discern the truth.
