These are shots of Long beach oil island and of Huntington Beach. I regularly surf and swim in the HB water. HB has some of the finest waves in SoCal, is a SoCal surfing mecca, and also has a 30 mile stretch of white sandy beaches. It is nicknamed 'surf city'. Notice the oil platforms in these pics. There are 5 of them off HB coast. They do not affect beachgoers and surfers one bit. Schools of dolphins regularly troll for food near the beaches edge. HB admittedly is not a pristine eco-zone(it has oil extraction sites both on and offshore) but it does serve the recreational needs of several million summer visitors and the local OC residents.
Boxer attacks Fiorina's pro-oil drilling stance in Santa Barbara - latimes.com
This is a repeat post on Boxer's deceitful statement that offshore oil drilling will cost Santa Barabra 400,000 jobs. That is a masterful Hilterian/communist propaganda lie. I live in long beach and regularly engage in water sports activites in the long beach marina and even in the harbor itself. I have kayaked that harbor and paddled next to the close-in oil well islands, which are not platforms but are leveled rock piles sunk off the long beach harbor. These oil islands, as the pic shows, are disguised with palm trees and other greenery and are covered by outer building skins so they add an attractive decor to the harbor.
I have put up these pics of our beautiful Long beach/Hunt beach shoreline recreation areas to show Boxer that offshore oil wells do not degrade nor adversely affect the shoreline.
