I said off Santa Barbara...the city. Look at the map of rigs. There is a 55,000-acre federal ecological preserve beyond state waters off the coast of the city of Santa Barbara. The history of this thread is that you claimed the state of California wouldn't allow offshore oil drilling, and it was pointed out that state waters only go out three miles; then you said there were wells but no drilling, and it was pointed out that drilling continues on existing federal leases; then you said the platforms were so far out they couldn't be seen, and a photograph was produced; then you suggested the picture wasn't taken from shore, but the caption says it was; then you said the platform wasn't off the coast of the city of Santa Barbara, just Santa Barbara County. In sum, even though California has no authority over oil drilling in federally-protected marine sanctuaries or ecological preserves, there isn't any.
