SF 3rd Graders Launch Campaign Against Sea Lion Killings
http://www.baycitizen.org/environment/story/sf-3rd-graders-fight-against-sea-lion/
(And this is education? Where is the other side of the issue? That protected sea lions are a predator to endangered salmon? That there are water export issues in California that are directly related to sea lion predation? That this is what happens when the food chain gets out of balance? When humans interfere with nature when trying to save one species to the detriment of another?
Especially in the Delta...saltwater intrusion further up the main stem of the Sacramento River means sea lions coming further and further inland following the saline water and their OCEAN based feasts. Which, if I read facts correctly, is also a contributing factor of sea lion intrusion all the way to the base of the dams in Washington and Oregon.)

(In light of say N. Carolina Wildlife Federation vs N. Carolina Transportation Agency, I'd say the agencies are correct in at least the appearance of checking and rechecking their facts...)

Shenanigans with Capitol Press Access
http://www.calwatchdog.com/2012/05/09/shenanigans-with-capitol-press-access/
(Well, I'd say Ms. Grimes is having a direct impact at the Capitol, better yet a direct positive impact at the Grassroots level in California...it is revealing how the Left or Democrats in the Capitol resort to direct violations of the Constitution when the message, heck the truth, does not favor their idealized Utopia.
This is just wrong...Keep it up Katy, as you say, you can do your job anywhere!)

California Lawmakers Push for Fracking Rules
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2012/05/california-lawmakers-fracking-rules.html
(One of my objections to this form of gas exploration/production is that exploration involves injecting at high velocities a cocktail of chemicals/toxins that are permanent. Requiring a company to disclose that cocktail of chemicals or 'trade secrets' AFTER they have been injected into the ground...why bother???
Natural gas is/was a throw-away byproduct of refining 'sweet crude'. One does not have to acquire natural gas via this method, which IMHO is a worse alternative than pursuing light, sweet crude. Technology today has the experience to drill for this, yes, even off the coast of Santa Barbara, without major 'accidents' or harm to our environment.
Never mind the huge amounts of water utilized daily for product the fracturing...Water that has to come from somewhere.)

Fracking Our Way to Energy Independence, In California?
http://www.mercurynews.com/opinion/ci_20586437/damon-nagami-fracking-our-way-energy-independence-california
(The issue with Deepwater Horizon, is just that, the deep water. The deeper you have to go, the exponential increase in the odds something will go wrong....read that somewhere, too!!) To compare deep water drilling and Fracking to 'regular' oil exploration is comparing an apple to navel and blood oranges. Not all methods of exploration and extraction are necessarily evil.)
