This Mayor is typical of the Environmental Hipocrites who don't want to admit, tha they are part of the problem in a big way. Oil can be extracted from the ocean safely. If she and her commrades don't want drilling then they should have set the example 40 years ago or even today, and outlaw any fossil fueled vehicle, or oil based system to heat or light their great city. Set the example hipocrites. Show us how it can be done. After the "disaster" 40 years ago the beach on community was not destroyed. The mayor didn't move out of town. The beach is still there. Oil washes up on the beach every day, From Natural Seepage! Lets pump it out so it doesn't get wasted.

Everyone wants to scream "not in my backyard" (read shorelines) as they drive their Hummers, Suburbans, and full sized pick ups to the malls.

Nature has no voice, no choice.

I think the question of offshore drilling should be left up to the individual states whose coastlines would be environmentally impacted. I no more support drilling off the California coast to supply gasoline in Iowa than I would support clear-cutting forests in Montana to build strip malls in Massachusetts. On a related note, suggesting all Californian's live opulent, privileged lifestyles is simply ignorant.

I would drill right away! People living in Santa Barbara should move so they don't impede the drilling!

States like California should be allowed to oppose offshore drilling. However, they should have to continue to import their oil from overseas. That will increase supply for the rest of us and lower our prices a little further.

Desertdonkey, I live in Santa Barbara and I'm not rich. I rent a 3 bedroom house for my family and struggle with my bills every month, like most of us here. I wish I had a 10 million dollar home.

Alternative energy is being developed more every day by smart, driven people. It's too bad that some folks like you have such a "can't do" attitude. You're a stain on the American spirit.

I'm just glad more Americans are waking up to the fact that rich oil men like Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfield have been raping us and our planet for over a century, tricking gullible folks like you into believing they're our only hope, when all along we've had the potential to get clean energy from the Sun, Wind, Waves, Earth, and other sources.

The article misses the point the Santa Barbara spill was not a well or pipe leak but a Fissure leak in the channel. This is the type of article that creates for all americans to have extra heavy duty walking shoes, there ias not going to fuel for vany alternative.

Now you won't.

Santa Barabara... LOL. A bunch of filthy rich people who could afford gas at any price. Hahaa.. But boy do they like their view of the Channel Islands from their 10 million dollar hillside homes!!! And driving that BMW to the local market.. no problem at $5/gallon.

They act like the ocean is their backyard. Totaly NIMBY's. wtf.

"Alternative Fuels". The mantra of the ignorant. LOL. They are known as "spaceship earthers". They believe that some "scientist" "somewhere" is "so smart" that "he" or "she" can figure out this awesome new fuel and save the world. LOL.. "Alternative Fuels".. such an overplayed mantra / chant. IGNORANCE.
