#fossilfools sink eyesores down to the seabed. Not because it's cheaper, of course, but to attract scuba-diving tourists….to keep infrastructure in place, not in order to offset billions of dollars in liabilities, but to “offset” #globalwarming as exhausted oil fields are perfect for the storage of carbon emissions. (In May their minions, aka the federal government welcomed the idea, nominating seven oil fields as potential sites.) #Montara #Friendsoftheearth

Decommissioning Australia's offshore oil and gas infrastructure is expensive. But safety concerns and oil spill risks remain real

In waters around Australia's coastline are about 1 million tonnes of pipelines, moorings, fixed rigs and floating vessels. Many are due for "decommissioning" and operators are contractually obliged to remediate the sites. But the cost is gargantuan, and not everyone wants to pay, writes Linton Besser.

Visited this Montara Mountain manzanita on Monday morning. This beautiful species (*Arctostaphylos montaraensis*) can be encountered on sandstone ridges on Montara Mountain near Pacifica, as well as one grove on San Bruno Mountain.
I can't wait to come back in a month to see them flowering. Like most manzanitas they are pollinated by bumblebees and hummingbirds.
