Since I have been through a number of bigger oil spills in Orange County in the 85 years I have lived here, I suspect this time knowing what the politics are like now, it is simply political and they are trying to get rid of the oil rigs on our coast. In 1990 on February 7th, the oil spill was 950,000 gallons or oil thanks to the anchor breaking through the hull. That one didn't bother anyone but the cleanup crews.
