Local leaders, legislators and actress and environmental advocate Jane Fonda spoke at an event in support of a ban on offshore oil drilling in Laguna Beach on Monday.
A crowd of hundreds showed up Monday to support speakers at a news conference calling for an end to offshore oil drilling at Main Beach Park in Laguna Beach.
“Even if you’re not an environmentalist, the case for ending offshore drilling is an easy one,” Min said. “Oil drilling off the coast of California accounts for less than 0.3% of all U.S. oil production. It’s not even a drop in the bucket. “They work in an industry that helped build this country,” Fonda said. “We must not blame them. The oil and gas and coal that exists that is not being used is called stranded assets. The workers must never be stranded assets.”
On Thursday, Laguna Beach fully reopened its beaches, including the water, after incrementally restoring public access. Huntington Beach and Newport Beach also reopened their beaches last week.
