Default The Aliso Canyon gas leak

This is a massive, uncontrolled, ongoing leak from a natural gas well connected to the Aliso Canyon underground storage facility near LA since October 23, 2015. The second largest gas storage facility of its kind in the United States.
The Wikipedia article does a great job explaining it:

Can't ride a two stroke in the desert.

Can pump gas out all day.

Oh California.

I recently heard the leak was equivalent to 7 million cars running. Also, natural gas is worse than coal for GHG emmissions, because 3-4% of NG that is extracted from the earth is leaked directly into the atmosphere (that number has to be below 2% to have less GHG than coal).

Why isn't Leo talking about this or the Tides Group or the Rockerfeller Group or the other celebrities.

Cause money.

They get paid more to go after the Oilsands.

Not that I don't believe you, but can you provide a source for this? That would be a hugely interesting read!

Big wad of chewing gum and an 11 year old boy with freakishly large fingers?

They drilled a relief well. You can tell Halliburton was paid by the day, as they used well location technology that required a trip for every location:
