There is very little drilling going on in that area. Would you take that risk?

In fact I think they ought to go out to the San Andreas and detonate some big charges and hasten the inevitable.

But of course. We have to make our political statement about green energy and global warming and all that.

Are they looking into paving over the La Brea tar pits while they’re at it?

If not... why not?

I used to live three blocks from that oil field in North University Park, but I didn’t know of its existence until I read this article. They apparently kept it well-hidden.

If they are so intent on depriving the rest of the nation of their oil and gas, perhaps the rest of the nation should rethink supplying them with electrical power.

Or water. From where does LA get the water to support that upholstered ant hill?

Right! Why live near an oil field? Oil seeps are perfectly natural in California. You can get the same headache even without drilling.

They are not drilling new wells. These are old ones that are still producing. Most are well concealed. A college classmate of mine went to Hollywood High. There was an active well on campus.

I read a few years ago about oil well ownership in the LA area. There are dozens (like 85 iirc) of different owners, owning a well or two.

Just look at Santa Barbara. The beaches have oil blobs and the sulfur smell from oil seeping from the ocean floor is pretty intense. The leftists environmentalists have shut down a huge economic arena.
