Visitors to Santa Barbara beaches must watch out for the clumps of oil/tar that wash up on the beach. It's constantly seeping from natural reservoirs under the ocean floor and polluting the beaches and the very air we breathe! Its not pristine beaches “environmentalists” and Santa Barbara County and State officials are protecting, its only OPEC, Russia’s and big oil’s profits. Santa Barbara “environmental” groups are actually spoiling the air and destroying the local and State economies. Despite the obvious benefits that oil production would have in reducing price at the pump, lowering environmental pressure on oil reservoirs and hence reducing damaging seeps, the California Assembly, Environment California, Sierra Club California, and the Natural Resources Defense Council continue their illogical, economically catastrophic and environmentally unsound opposition to safe oil and gas production. County, State and federal officials and eco-lawyers are inadvertently, agents for OPEC-Russia-Chavez and our economic competitors, China, India etc. The OPEC-Russia-Chavez oil cartel is not just looting the United States, but the whole world, and will accumulate over $1.5 trillion in net profits this year. At their current rate of take, OPEC-Russia will acquire enough cash to buy majority control of every leading company in the United States within five years.
