Boxer attacks Fiorina's pro-oil drilling stance in Santa Barbara - latimes.com






Boxer attacks Fiorina's pro-oil drilling stance in Santa Barbara - latimes.com

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. Top left pic shows Hunt Beach oil platform. Top right shows LB oil island.


Boxer goes demagogic on SB offshore oil drilling issue. She says that 400,000 SB jobs will be lost or adversely impacted. That is using the Hitler big lie.
No SB jobs will be lost, and MORE oil drilling will add 300,000-500,000 high-paying energy-related jobs to CA's desperate economy. SB coastal tourism industRy is likely being adversely affected by CA's economic collapse, as is the coastal tourism of all seaside areas from Monterrey to San Diego.


Oil drilling has no impact on local tourism. long beach and HUNTINGTON BEACH, CLOSE TO WHERE I LIVE, HAVE 11 OFFSHORE OIL WELLS AND LOCAL BEACHGOERS ARE NOT AFFECTED ONE BIT. OUR BEACHES GET MAX CROWDS ON SUMMER WEEKENDS. LONG BEACH SHORELINE HAS 3 OIL WELLS VERY CLOSE TO THE SHORE BUT THEY HAVE NO IMPACT AS THEY ARE DRESSED UP AND COVERED BY DECORATIVE COVERINGS AND EVEN PLANTS TO HIDE THE OIL DRILL APPARATUS. LB IS A WATER SPORTS MECCA AND PLENTY OF SAILBOATS, JET SKIERS, KITE SURFERS, KAYAKERS REGULARLY PLY THE WATERS WITHOUT THE OIL WELL PLATFORMS IMPINGING ON THEIR FUN.

WE HAVE HAD OIL WELL PLATFORMS FOR 50-60 YEARS AND NOT ONE SPILL TO REPORT. FURTHERMORE, SOCAL HAS 10 POWER PLANTS/WASTE WATER PLANT SITES RIGHT AT WATERS EDGE. THEY ARE NEEDED TO POWER OUR LOCAL ECONOMY AND PROVIDE FOR SANITATION/WASTE MANAGEMENT. WE ALSO HAVE 3-4 OIL REFINERYS IN LONG BEACH/LA PORT REGION/SOUTH BAY. WHY DOES LONG BEACH PORT AREA HAVE TO HAVE THESE POWER ENERGY FACILITIES WHILE SANTA BARBARA CAN KEEP THEIR COASTAL SHORES FREE OF ENERGY GENERATION SITES.

WHY DOSEN'T BOXER COME DOWN TO LONG BEACH OR HUNT BEACH AND MAKE HER PLEA TO BAN OFSHORE OIL DRILLING HERE IN LONG BEACH, AND STAND IN FRONT OF ONE OF OUR BEAUTIFUL OIL DRILLING PLATFORMS.


BOXER IS A COMPLETE HYPOCRITE, LIKE THE NOT-IN-MY BACK YARD NIMBYS IN SANTA BARBARA WHO WANT THEIR CHEAP GAS BUT ARE NOT WILLING TO SUPPORT MORE OFFSHORE DRILLING EITHER IN SB OR IN ANWAR. WAIT TIL IRAN GETS ATTACKED NEXT SPRING AND OIL SHOOTS UP TO $$150/200 A BARREL AND GAS GOES TO $4.00/GALLON. I GUARANTEE YOU THAT CALIFORNIANS WILL BE SCREAMING FOR MORE OIL DRILLING.
