There are proven reserves off the coast of Ca. in relatively shallow water that would satisfy this countrys need for oil for many years to come. The taxes the state could collect on the oil would not only balance their budget but create a huge surplus. We drill for oil off the coast of Tx and La. What is so different about Ca.?

Good morning.
"We drill for oil off the coast of Tx and La. What is so different about Ca.?"

There have been rigs in the Santa Barbara Channel for decades. The fish love them. I have no problem with drilling anywhere off the coast.

This is not about drilling, though the professionally indignant Leftists oppose that, too. My opposition to the terminal stems from my knowledge of the traffic.

As I said, though, build it where you choose. I don't sail anymore so my life won't be endangered.
