California buys 100 million barrels of oil from Saudi Arabia each year. That comes at a cost of $5 billion to the people of CA rather then employing them. Also the spill you reference is off Louisiana ask them their support for jobs and energy production
This is why nearly 70% of Californians oppose offshore drilling. Congress should act quickly to pass the West Coast Ocean Protection Act, our bill to ban drilling along the Pacific coast. It’s not IF an oil spill will happen, but WHEN.https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1054356350204104704 …

Just to finish this thought, if your concern is oil in the sea, the transportation (again, CA imports 56% of its oil) results in 3x more oil in the ocean than production. Meaning actually producing more in CA would result in less impacthttps://www.nap.edu/catalog/10388/oil-in-the-sea-iii-inputs-fates-and-effects …

Californians haven't forgotten the 2015 Plains All America crude oil spill from a poorly maintained offshore pipeline that fouled beaches in Southern California with smelly crude oil, especially around Santa Barbara. No offshore drilling in California!pic.twitter.com/s1KIWnlADF

This is why
#CA45, home to a most beautiful stretch of the California coast must vote for@katieporteroc and send her to Congress. Her opponent,@MimiWaltersCA has aligned herself with Zinke, Trump and Big Oil's plan to drill along our coastline! - 1 more reply
