Proposition P, the anti-fracking initiative failed due to

[Cleita]

relentless advertising by the oil industry, which was full of lies. For those of us who live up the coast under the shadow of El Diablo, how do we stop them?

1. That was for Santa Barbara county only, right?

If you approve of fracking then it needs to occur literally within 100 feet of your home, and you will suffer the consequences.

Otherwise people will keep being stupid about it

3. It was and I think those of us in San Luis Obispo County should have had a say

in it because it affects us as well. I think this needs to be a statewide initiative.

2. Advertising pays.

The GOP and certainly the oil companies understand that. For the pittance they spent bamboozling the local voters, they stand to reap billions. Advertising gives a huge return on investment. Same thing happened statewide with insurance companies and props 45 and 46.

4. Measure S, no fracking, won big

in Mendocino County! Keep trying.

[Cleita]

5. We have to.

If in fact fracking causes earthquakes and the evidence seems to point to that, why in Hell would we do it within 100 miles of an active nuclear plant?
