I dislike Greka as much as anyone, but using a photo of the horrendous January spill at Zaca to head a report of a 2 barrel (84 gallon) spill is a bit much.

I've converted from gas to foot power recently. One thing I'd like to offer: many intersections of residential with major streets are uncontrolled and feature walls and landscaping that block the view for drivers on the minor streets so they're FORCED to block pedestrians in order to see the cross traffic. This is just plain lousy planning. Of course, nobody's supposed to walk anywhere, so why bother designing so foot and wheeled traffic can coexist?

Another thing the new "Green Greka" will have to change is the habitual non-payment of contractors that's apparently a part of the old, bad Greka's standard operating proceedure. Many oilfield contractors won't work for them at all, and the others demand payment up front.

Jake Blues, in the movie "The Blues Brothers" from 1980:

"Honest... I ran out of gas. I, I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts. IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD."

That's Greka's excuse, too.

Somebody really needs to tell the Chinese National Petroleum Company that Green Dragon Gas (http://www.naturalgasstocks.com/Articles...) is run by Randeep Grewal, environmental scofflaw extraordinaire.

Wait - on further reflection, the Chinese bureaucrats probably don't care, as long as the money flows forth into their pockets.
