By denying an end run around California's 4-decades old ban on off shore drilling, the California State Lands Commissions decision discourages Washington from issuing new leases in federal waters off the shores of California.
Why do bring Obama into this? Because his administration will allow drilling in the OCS. So sayeth the no-nonsense coastal activist Sara Wan. See: <http://mendonoma.blogspot.com/> and <http://www.cal-span.org/cgi-bin/archive.php?owner=CSLC&date=2009-01-29> Sara fires up at about 03:42:00. I'm the goofball waiving his hands while talking that follows 8 to 10 minutes after her. There was a crowd of about 300 in support of the deal at the hearing. Our small group of 11 was chumped at the last second and given only 1 miute each to speak. So much for our well-coordinated and complimentary 2-minute diatribes! we got the end result we wanted, so we all forgive John Garamendi (very likely to be our next Governor) for taking away our time. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "StrataList-OT" group.
