I love the smell of an oil refinery, which I worked in. Oil is a natural product of this beautiful Planet. We should all be grateful for this life growing source from our Terros.
Thank you for such a wonderful tour around to all these different spots and rounding everything out with some context and definition! I wish my textbooks as a kid were as concise and easy to follow as your videos!
This right here is real california gold ! I live and was born and raised in west sacramento California and loved going to sutters fort as a kid they nevet talked about how important oil was to California's growth and how it intertwined with the gold rush and intercontinental railroad. My grandfather was a roughneck in san luis obispo and always talked of the many gas and oil seeps. Love the content . My mom works for a school district in sacramento im going to recomend this be played in history class. Great documentary!
Somehow, a measure banning fracking in San Luis Obispo county failed. And almost to the day, seeps opened up along Price Canyon road. And I love Petrolia CA. Not so much for its petroleum history, but for its stunning remoteness on our Lost Coast.
There is quite a lot of oil in the Santa Cruz mnts. USGS has a report in Pdf online. I've been to one seep called Tarwater creek near Pescadero. Have seen the Tar seeps at Sargent ranch on a Topo map. They have wells there. La Honda has active and inactive wells. There is history of oil extraction in Purissima canyon and Tunitas canyon. Also near Butano out of the public eye. Also much around Hwy 17 that have not been drilled.
I can see where you're coming from, but to be fair, all the oil deposits he just showed are tiny amounts by industry standards, wouldn't be worth it to them.
to people in california understand only republican Governor is going to Drill for oil and gas and use the money to build Affordable House for the people.. you all must vote out the democrats in november 2024

My elementary school 30 miles east of LA took us on a field trip to La Brea Tar Pits natural history museum. All tye kids loved it.

Fun Fact from a Fortuna resident, Petrolia has a bunker owned by Scientology. It's just a place they meet but it's still so random lol
Thanks.
I live in Fortuna and you can call the land bureau to give you access to the headwaters park!
Oil is a the earth's natural weeping mineral oil deposits.
Drive the highway from Santa Paula to Ojai. Look at the oil oozing out of the cut banks.
I drive Hwy 20 all the time, never knew of the seeps. But I do recognize that rock formation, I'll be keeping an eye out next time I'm going that way.
Fun fact: Carpenteria was named for the Chumash ‘carpenters’ who plugged holes in the wood boats from those same oil seeps.

So if California has all this oil bubbling up why is gasoline $5.65 per gallon
