VIDEO:  Between the ongoing Fukushima nightmare and the Aliso Canyon methane leak, California is under an Agenda 21 full court press.  The question should be asked, if current environmental crisis like these continue unabated, how much longer will Californians be able to be Californians?  ~ The Phaser

The Aliso Canyon gas leak, which is currently polluting Southern California, is examined with Timothy O’Connor, the Director of Environmental Defense Fund’s Oil and Gas Program in California, following the news that Governor Jerry Brown declared a state of emergency Wednesday in Porter Ranch, where thousands of residents have been evacuated. O’Connor explains the health and environmental effects of methane emissions, the dangers of the gas leak relief plan, the Southern California Gas Company’s response to the leak, and how wells can be regulated to reduce methane leaks and subsequent climate damage. Finally, we take a look at EDF’s aerial infrared footage of the leak, in this uncensored Antidote interview hosted by Michael Parker.
