You ever hear of the LaBrea tar pits? There is a lot of oil and tar close to the surface in Southern California. Offshore of Santa Barbara there are natural seeps where oil seeps up out of the ocean floor. It’s still going on but due to our oil wells there is less. Due to less pressure. Our oil wells relive that pressure
Yes, I’ve been there. I was so busy with my career when I lived in LA that I never had time to stop and smell the oil so to speak. Never connected it with the off shore oil.
Dang, you beat me to it. See my previous post.
