Massive Sewage Spill in San Diego
Where are all the environmental protesters, lawsuits and legislation? A catastrophic toxic sewage spill of 180 million gallons per day from the San Diego Point Loma Sewage Treatment Plant is now going strong. Even with no end in sight to this environmental disaster, not a peep from California’s typically knee-jerk environmental reactionaries.
That ongoing environmental nightmare makes California’s rare oil spills pale in comparison. Where are the big protests and lawsuits for a cleanup?
Californians are among the largest per-capita oil consumers in the world, yet hound the oil industry that fuels their profligate lifestyles mercilessly. This despite an excellent overall safety record for such a major California industry. The hypocrisy of California’s self-righteous protesters and lawmakers is astounding.
