New Link

There's a new link for you over on the side bar. You may be familiar with the Los Osos story.

We've been told that they rebelled over their sewer plant, recalled the board responsible then stopped the construction.

Then there were lawsuits, liens, etc.

Maybe you should read about it. There's plenty of information out there about the situation. Here are a couple of articles

Why I'm concerned about MBR...

Some of you may know that I worked for Texaco for over 20 years. Part of my career, I worked in Reserves Engineering(not as an engineer but doing the grunt work; gathering data, processing it, creating maps, writing reports, etc). Reserves is the oil that's still left in the ground that needs to be recovered(pumped out).

As reserves have become more scarce over the years, oil companies have sold off marginal fields and kept the "cream of the crop" fields. Well, eventually even those became marginal and the majors had to start merging. Texaco doesn't exist anymore.

I saw Matt Simmons at an energy conference in Denver in 2005. He is the biggest energy investment banker in the business. Watch this February 1, 2007 video interview on Bloomberg TV

After watching it, I encourage you to google "peak oil" and educate yourself.

Bottom line, using a system that uses three times more energy than conventional treatment, even if it is the best there is, may create more problems than the RWQCB.
