A California commentator on oil. The gentelman's name is unimportant, I'd forgot it anyways, but his comments were of intrest. I caught this on AM 580 radio and the Sean Hennity broadcast. Contrary to what the tree-huggers and Democrats state, a single sane and intellegent individual states drilling off of California's coast is good. There are approximately 27 platforms and they directly contribute to less oil pollution on California's beaches. Amagine that ! Due to natural forces ( earthquakes ) and the local geology, oil and gas seep up through the ocean's floor off California's coast, so much oil in fact to be the equivalant of the EXXON VALDEZ SPILL over a 5 year period of time. This is a natural occourance, but it is diminished due to oil extraction relieving pressure on the oil reservoir. This individual state that the beaches are currently cleaner now with drilling than they were in the 40's and 50's before drilling. Amagine that ! Less tar balls on the beach and cleaner feet for those that prefer barefoot. He then went on to explain about all of the additional marine life that congregates around the rigs forming new reefs, reefs that are not exploited or damaged by either commercial or sports fishing. One species of fish, the rock fish, is almost non-existant elsewhere on the natural reefs. Amagine that !
You hear of news like this on TALK RADIO. Wonder why broadcast television can't come up with a single enviromental and capitalist achievement ? Guess news like that's bad for the Democratic politicians and their ignorant communist following as well !
