Hermosa Beach Mayor Peter Tucker and Wyland Foundation VP Steve Creech talked to Dave Gonzales and Sandra Mitchell of CBS News about the water conservation challenge. Pete Tucker had a goal as Mayor to make Hermosa Beach residents understand the value of conserving water in the community. On October of 2011, Pete Tucker and Jeff Ducklos attend the West Basin Water Harvest Festival. Hermosa Beach to accept the top honor of conserving water in Southern California. Hermosa Beach residents made this possible by conserving water for future generations.
One unnamed City Official said off the record, "This is hypocrisy at its highest level and I am disappointed how we have handled it." "Carbon Neutral", "Green City", "Green Taskforce" sounds kind of ridiculous now that we are considering oil drilling doesn't it?
Its incredible to see hear Pete Tucker discuss how he got all these groups in Hermosa Beach to help win this award by sending out 4000 emails. Groups like the Green Task Force, Volleyball groups, Ed Foundation, Women's Club (Ace in the Hole), Public Works, Planning Commission.

It strikes me as absurd that the City of Hermosa Beach is evening allowing an oil company to discuss the idea of drilling for oil in our community with the risks it poses on our water supply. Pete Tucker and Jeff Ducklos need to start acting like responsible Councilmen by defending our safety.
Hermosa Beach council member's have said absolutely nothing on the oil drilling issue because they are bound taken a vow to remain silent during the process. This is absurd when their primary responsibility is to protect the safety residents. Not an oil company.
Pumping millions of recycled or reclaimed water into the ground for the purposed of oil drilling is not only risky for the residents but also jeopardizes our drinking water.
Most people don't realize that 40% of Los Angeles drinking water comes from an aquifer underground.
E&B is going to use a bogus study that says fracking does pose any environmental impacts or contaminate our water which is a complete fraud. If you want to read more about how this study has been refuted. Balkwin Hills Fracking Study.
