Great news. Now can we PLEASE push to get that ticking time bomb called Diablo Power Plant, with enough plutonium to kill the entire planet, shut down and put into cold storage before we become like Fukushima or Simi Valley (Under-reported Santa Susanna Melt Down), Hanford Nuclear Accident in Washington, Three-Mile Island, or any number of other unreported nuclear accidents?

Scratching my head here. Capps likes to spend other people's money, but she is against raising new revenues? Gotta keep this straight when I mark my ballot in November.

I would say this is unbelievable but Capps has always been a NIMBY. I will let her know what I think of this the next time I see her taking a flight or driving around town using carbon based fuels. If I don't see hear before the election I will use my power at the ballot box to make sure she has a nice retirement in 2012.

Drilling today ain't "your father's Oldsmobile" of 1969. Cost/benefit analysis of risk/reward says GO.

Forget the past and be doomed to see it repeated. We won't forget the oil spill.

Scratching my head, what exactly are those oil platforms doing out there in the Santa Barbara channel if they are not continuing to produce oil, and rather responsibly from all reports these past few decades. (Greko excepted from this statement.) Agree, cost/benefit analysis of risk/reward does say go instead of GOO. Telling Capps to go away is also on the risk/reward benefit scale as the next good thing to do. This not your wheat-germ, hemp and Birkenstock Santa Barbara any longer either. It is time to stop partying like it is 1970 and soberly assess where the world is today.

Look at it like this: All you retired public sector pensioners, firefighters, police, teachers, special school programs and the like being budget slashed to the bone....would you like a second chance at getting your promised benefits?....Oil revenue and the jobs it brings and the tax revenues from those jobs would pay you those things. Otherwise, no chance. You will have "destroyed the village in order to save it"
It isn't a question of "if" drilling will resume in the channel, but "when and who gets the upper hand negotiating the contracts". Votes like this one that Capps made just weaken the public's hand when the Inevitable comes. Then we will beg the oil companies to drill here and won't have a damn thing to say about it.

Excellent point about the necessity of funding the massive public employee pension liabilities that have already been rung up and need for new sources of revenues. Though what a waste of valuable local and natural resource assets if they only get used to pay for past public employee services, and not innovative and new ones. Pumping oil will only make those on the public trough even more greedy and irresponsible, and that is really unhealthy for the "environment". I put my vote on municipal bankruptcy first, because that brings necessary reform; not just one more piggy trough for more public employee excesses.

I don't see a single honest reason to oppose Capps or favor oil leases here, just extremely dishonest rhetoric.
