off of california, and you know, i think it s really clear now as we sit and watch this, in this moment we have an opportunity to finally get permanent protection for our coasts. it s being discussed in congress now, and this is really a stark reminder that we absolutely need to make that happen. a lot of places along the gulf coast, you can stand onshore, look out, see platforms and see rigs. same thing in california, california you see them on land and you see them off land. what do protections look like? for people in these places that look out and see a platform or oil rig on the horizon, what do we want? what does success look like? well, there s a question of whether or not we should continue to expand offshore drilling, which we absolutely should not do. and so what we re pushing for in congress right now by permanent protection, we mean stop all leasing for any new oil and gas development offshore. if we can get that done, we can prevent some future spills.
