Oil is everywhere - even on the bottom of Supervisor Carbajal's feet!

First District Supervisor Salud Carbajal says: “(Oil production) is something that does not interest me," he said. "Regardless of how safe this industry has become . . . the disasters are not distant. They're out there." (News Press 06-05-05)

Apparently, he hasn’t considered that natural seeps from the Santa Barbara Channel have released 4,895 gallons of crude oil and 71 tons of methane gas each day for decades; however, this fact of nature seems irrelevant to people like Salud who wish to create the illusion that man alone is responsible for all the earths “pollution”.

Do your homework Supervisor Carbajal - nature is not as pristine as you would like it to be. Failing to collect this valuable resource in a controlled manner is irresponsible as the natural releases continue to foul south coast beaches.
