Eight new #gas and #OilWells have been approved for San Ardo.
“These enhanced# oil recovery methods come with all the risks of traditional production,” says Cooper Kass, an attorney with the Center for Biological Diversity, a watchdog organization which has filed multiple lawsuits regarding California’s oil and gas industry. “They also bring a number of additional risks, including the potential for the high-pressure injection to damage the wellbore and/or crack the surrounding rock, which could lead to migration and #groundwater contamination.”—Report by Katie Rodriguez, #MontereyCountyNow

#CarWeek #MontereyCounty Thanks to California Highway Patrol, who took a hit - quite likely preventing harm to someone else. "A Porsche was stopped after going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone.

"'In an ideal world, we would have bike lanes with a physical barrier everywhere. That’s what’s needed. The reason more people don’t bike is primarily the fear of cars, and you can’t blame them.'”

We appreciated reading ONE BIKE, ONE WHEEL, ONE STORY: THE JOURNEY OF TANNUS AND "BICICLETAS SIN FRONTERAS”: https://tannustires.com/en/tannus-blog/tannus-bicicletas-sin-fronteras/ “A bicycle changes lives. And a bicycle that never breaks down, does it even more.”
Thank you to Ryan of Tannus America for showing us the Tannus Armour tire liner at Monterey County’s Sea Otter Classic, and for his April 11 gift of a cycling cap in support of our direct outreach by bike.

@Thebratdragon It seems the #Tesla batteries were involved in the fire. And it seems that #PacificGasAndElectric also had a hand in "ensuring safety" at the facility. And they want to keep #DiabloCanyonNuclearPlant going? smh
"This is not the plant's first fire; it experienced another in September 2022, when an individual battery storage unit rose in flames.
"Operations resumed in December 2022 after the Energy Safety Response Group (ESRG), a third-party energy safety consultant, finalized a review of the situation. PG&E, in conjunction with Tesla, the battery provider, 'implemented corrective actions and conducted extensive system testing,' as PG&E announced.
"The exact cause of the current incident at the plant remains uncertain. Still, ESRG's 2022 report identified that last year's fire was sparked by 'an equipment installation issue resulting in water ingress caused the battery's cells to overheat and catch fire,' according to the press release.
"Due to the blaze, #Highway1 near the site has been shut down, as reported by KION concerning the California Highway Patrol."
