California Es Sumamente Un Estado Petrolero

 
 Benicia

I was telling friends that the dirty energy reality of oil tankers feeding the insatiable refinery sector built out on the shores of SF Bay reminds me of an old Sherlock Holmes bit about hiding things in plain sight. The tankers are ubiquitous and the threat of a spill is permanent -- but so few people even really seem to notice. Oil tankers coming oil tankers going no end in sight. Now drilling the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge is on the horizon. These are suicidal climate behaviors, feeding the Trans-Alaska pipeline to feed the tankers to feed the refineries in California, and then calling this way of doing business exemplary climate action. Our children are depending on us, we can't let it happen. Here are some fotos from a reconnaissance patrol checking the marine deliveries of crude oil by tanker arriving to refineries operating on San Francisco Bay.
