Dear Long Beach decision-makers, There is a large body of evidence that oil / gas operations within a half mile of human activity and even great distances down wind increases death, disabilities, health costs, and production loses. I doubt the true costs of those things can be quantified in any meaningful way, especially in terms of a comparison to the revenue Long Beach receives from oil / gas operations. The cost, especially in terms of human life and your duty to protect Long Beach citizens, seem to outweigh the benefits. May you do ONLY that which is truly best for the vast majority of people living in Long Beach and cause those people as little harm as humanly possible. Thank you for reading my comments and prayer.
