DWI & DUI Attorneys Help

Anyone living in southern California and along the coast of San Diego to San Francisco has seen oil rigs off the coast of Santa Barbara, Ventura and Long Beach. Anyone living in one of the other coastal cities like San Diego, Pacific Beach, Mission Beach, La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Carlsbad, Oceanside, San Clemente, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Beach, Corona del Mar, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Pismo Beach, Morro Bay Cambria and San Simeon sees something different – beaches no oil rigs.

Amid the financial collapse of America and on the same weekend that Congress has established a $ 700 billion bailout Congress has eliminated the 26-year ban on offshore oil drilling to the dismay of environmentalists.

Despite the ban on extraction offshore oil, it is believed that such drilling, at least off the coast of California is unlikely to occur for many years, if ever. Democrats in Congress are already vowing to reinstate the ban when a new Congress takes place in four months. And the political opposition, the laws of protection marine environment and almost certain litigation by environmental groups in California make offshore oil drilling in an unlikely event.

First , there is the general belief of Californians, including the Governor, as the coast of California is an international treasure, let alone a draw for tourists from around the world. Few politicians dare to endanger the state treasury.

Second, a law passed by former Gov. Pete Wilson and a ban on all drilling offshore oil in California, three miles from the coast.

Third, there are 300 kilometers of national marine sanctuaries along the California coast, prohibiting oil drilling.

ordinances Fourthly, almost all coastal counties in the State of California has enacted a ban on new pipelines oil terminals and tanks in the state.

Fifth, environmental groups and the promise of rental trial and could be accompanied by the Commission California Coast.

While California has about 30 oil platforms off Santa Barbara, Ventura and Long Beach that were built in the early 1950, no oil rigs have been built in more than 50 years.

It is estimated that California has at least 10.5 billion barrels of oil at sea – About a year and a half of the nation's annual supply. This is comparable to the estimate of oil in the Wildlife Refuge in Alaska (ANWR).

But any case, despite the oil crisis and financial crisis, in light of global warming and calls for investment in alternative energies, Californians are increasingly aware of the environment. Any politician running on any platform (oil or not) based on offshore drilling at great risk to coast California, will struggle to be elected.
