“’Split Estate’ is an eye-opening examination of the consequences and conflicts that can arise between surface land owners in the western United States, and those who own and extract the energy and mineral rights below. This film is of value to anyone wrestling with rational, sustainable energy policy while preserving the priceless elements of cultural heritage, private enterprise above-ground, and the precious health not only of people but the land itself.”—Bill Richardson, Governor of New Mexico
Your Property rights – Mineral rights – Water rights – Right to know – Federal laws, State regulations, Clean Air, Clean Water, Safe Drinking Water – All trumped by a Loophole you could drive the State of Texas through.
This is the game plan. This is how it plays out. How it ends is totally up to us. Following the show – Local Fracking Update – discussion – call to action.

Aside from my morning coffee ritual I am not a very religious person.
But I have to say this Pope Francis is talking my language.
His letter/encyclical instructing the faithful will be coming very soon.

Nurses Join Teachers, Parents and Students to Voice Opposition to
Phillips 66 Oil Train Project at Upcoming Events
Registered nurses will join with parents and students for three days of events opposing the Phillips 66 Oil Train Project, which starts this Thursday by urging the Templeton School Board to oppose the controversial Phillips 66 proposal to add five additional rail shipments a week of dirty tar sands crude oil through the center of San Luis Obispo County to Phillips’ Santa Maria refinery.
What: Sierra Vista Registered Nurses rally at railroad crossing near hospital
When: Monday, May 18, 3 p.m.
Where: Railroad Crossing at Foothill Blvd (near California Blvd), SLO

Where: 602 Orchard St., Arroyo Grande
The city of San Luis Obispo last month became the first in the county to declare its opposition to the Phillips 66 project. Cities and schools boards in blast zone communities north and south of the county have also sent in letters opposing Phillip 66’s oil train project.
“It is only by chance that an oil train derailment has not yet occurred in the heart of a major city, causing a major inferno, or on the bank of a river, spreading thousands of gallons of tar sands crude oil through a watershed, doing permanent damage,” said Andrew Christie, Director of the local chapter of the Sierra Club.
Noting the train runs right next to the Cal Poly campus, Soroush Aboutalebi, Cal Poly Environmental Management and Protection major, said, “We want Cal Poly President Armstrong to oppose the oil trains because of the risk they pose to our university.”
The Final Environmental Impact Report on the Phillips 66 project is expected soon. After the Planning Commission votes on the project, the appeal is voted on by the Board of Supervisors, followed by an appeal to the California Coastal Commission.

- If you catch a whiff of that rotten egg sulfur smell when you are driving down around the Price Canyon area that’s bad. That’s escaping hydrogen sulfide gas from oil drilling and the Air Pollution Control District needs to know about it.

Ask them to report back to you. - Official petition to Brown? He ignored it. It was an official administrative filing. Not the same as a court of public record. Brown seems to have selective hearing loss where he goes stone deaf every time he hears the words BAN FRACKING.
- NASA predicts we only have one year of stored water left. Jerry Brown ordered California’s first-ever mandatory water cutback, imposing a 25 percent reduction to force residents and businesses to conserve. Yup that will save the day. LEADERSHIP AWOL.
- 11 wells at the Arroyo Grande Oil field illegally dumping waste water into the protected aquifer. Solution. Take the aquifer off the protected list and let the dumping continue. Brilliant.
- 5 counties and 11 municipalities in California have taken the law into their own hands and ban fracking. In every case where the oil industry threatened to sue they had to admit their lame arguments about property rights didn’t hold water and they baled.
