[Scpg] ACT NOW/Let the County Know that you Oppose One of the Largest Greenhouse Gas Emitting Projects Proposed for Our Region

[Margie Bushman, Santa Barbara Permaculture Network]

Action Alert from the Community Environmental Council (CEC):
(this is important stuff, Southern California is currently being 
touted as a "monster oil boom" to investors)
Urgent/ACT NOW
Let the County know that you oppose one of the largest greenhouse
  gas emitting projects proposed for our region

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.


Send an email

We drafted an email for you. However, local officials have told us 
they don't like getting form letters. Please customize the letter by 
changing the subject and writing why this project should be rejected 
or a personal story of why climate change needs to be addressed.

It just takes a few clicks to let the County Board of Supervisors 
know that you oppose this project.
