Speak up
We encourage you to attend the meeting in Santa Maria on Tuesday, November 12 at 1:30 pm. However, if you can't go to Santa Maria, you can address the Board using the remote video testimony system, located at 105 East Anapamu Street, Fourth Floor, Santa Barbara.On Tuesday, November 12, the County Board of Supervisors will consider our appeal of the Santa Maria Energy Project. CEC has joined with Los Padres Sierra Club, Get Oil Out and SB County Action Network to have the Environmental Defense Center file an appeal of the Planning Commission’s approval of the project, as it only required a 29% mitigation of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
The developers want to use a GHG intensive method called cyclic steaming to heat and extract oil. This is one of the largest GHG emitting projects proposed for our region and is precedent setting, with other similar projects waiting in the wings.
Please contact the Board of Supervisors by Monday, November 11 and let them know you oppose this project. In the event that the project is approved, ask them to require Santa Maria Energy to mitigate their GHGs to zero.
