To the editor: I’m shocked that Sable Offshore has restarted operation (“Offshore oil operation near Santa Barbara resumes production after 10 years,” Could 20).
We face a federal administration bent on disrespecting legislation, and now now we have been deserted by our state on this regard. The place are you, Gov. Gavin Newsom? Are you watching Sable Offshore defy state legislation? Are you watching as Sable goes towards quite a few California Coastal Fee cease-and-desist orders and begins operation of this pipeline?
We all know the pipeline is previous, corroded and unsafe. We all know it’s a rupture simply ready to occur. We all know the following leak may very well be much more devastating than the one 10 years in the past.
We’ve proven up in numbers to attempt to shield our seashores, our shoreline, our sea creatures, our tourism economic system. We’ve made a whole lot of noise. Newsom, how have you ever not heard us?
