Santa Barbara's Oil Spill

Once again human technology has destroyed nature’s pristine environment. This time it’s Santa Barbara, California.

An oil pipeline split and spewed its crude into the blue Pacific off the central California gentle coast.  100-thousand gallons spilled, but a pipeline spokesman said, as if to minimize the flow, the pipeline was operating below it capacity.

There are 17-hundred pipeline and hazardous materials operators in the country and Plains All American Pipeline is among the worst violators.

The company has had 175 federal safety and maintenance violations since 2006.

WHEN will we stop allowing these careless and corrupt companies to operate.


WE ARE THE NATURE WE ABUSE!
