 Hey everybody, how's it going? My name is Madeleine Stano. I'm attorney with the Center on Race Poverty and the Environment. I'm driving today right by the oil spill in Santa Barbara County off of Refugio State Beach. You can see it out the window. I work on oil and gas issues in the heart of oil country in California and Kern County. And I am just driving by for the first time. You can see out the window how terrifying this stuff looks. Some of the responses, the boats, all of the first responders. I was driving the other direction. You could smell it for miles before you could see it. Hopefully you'll be able to see through. Jeez, that's Christ. I can It is difficult to breathe right now in the car. Definitely feel lightheaded. I've smelled a lot of oil and gas through my work. I was giving a fracking tour in Kern County on Monday. I have never smelled anything like this. It's like a piercing, piercing odor that instantly makes you feel lightheaded, dizzy, nauseous, eye irritation. You can see some of the boats. I don't know if you'll be able to see the blackness on top of the water, but it is pretty apocalyptic and horrifying. It looks and smells like poison and it keeps going on for miles. You can see some of the netting to contain it. Wow, it is really difficult to breathe and think and speak at the same time. It goes on for around nine miles right now. It's over a hundred and five thousand gallons. You can see a couple helicopters in the sky. Cheese. Woo! It is just getting, the smell really gets to you after a period of time. So, yeah.
