According to the California Energy Commission, in 2017 California imported 56.66% of its oil from foreign sources. These foreign oil tankers, which transport upwards of 4 million barrels of oil at a time, pose the greatest risk of a spill in California waters.

Along our coast, there are over 195 species of birds that call Santa Barbara home. These birds are severely impacted by the region's natural oil seeps bubbling up from the ocean floor. Help reverse the tide >>soscalifornia.org/our-soluti…

Offshore natural gas and petroleum seeps are a major source of the county’s air pollution and put more than 22 tons of reactive organic gases (ROGs) into the air every day. By comparison, all of the motor vehicles in Santa Barbara County produce 18 tons of hydrocarbons each day.

As of right now, 40% of California's oil consumption is imported from foreign countries. Utilizing our off shore oil reserves would eliminate our need for foreign oil all the while generate billions of tax dollars to fund schools and social programs. bit.ly/2jJjRpp
