Tragic Oil spill along the California Coast

[Catherine]

It seems any time you have a pipe line(or tanker) you have a spill.
This one is bad.
So many animals are in its path and many will die because of it.
I heard on the news that a mother whale and her calf had already died.
The toxic effects of this will be felt for years.

So many of the species in the area are already vulnerable and at risk.
It is an area of great beauty and now it is covered in oil and unusable by human or animal.
Tell me again why we need pipelines. They are not worth the risk.
