Calif. Oil Rigs Saving Endangered Fish

Environmentalists wrong again...

Marine biologist Milton Love drives a hybrid car, displays a banner of left-wing revolutionary Che Guevara on his laboratory wall - and has backing from Big Oil.

The reason: his finding that oil platforms off California's central coast are a haven for species of fish whose numbers have been dramatically reduced by overfishing.

Environmentalists say oil companies are simply trying to escape their obligations.

Love, a researcher at the University of California at Santa Barbara, films fish from a submarine and then counts them in his lab. He says some platforms are surrounded with fish packed as tightly as "cocktail wieners in a can."

"If anyone wants to come up and count the fish, we'll provide the first beer," Love says. "But they're going to have to bring the rest. And they're going to need a few cases because we have 11 years of research."

Another story showing how environmentalists are just using it as a disguise to attack corporate America.

They wouldn't let forests be thinned out so there are more Forrest fires...
They didn't want there to be a pipeline in Alaska, now animals have bigger numbers than ever before...
There are many times they have messed with the circle of life, either taken a species out of an environment or put one in, and had disastrous effects.

Thick forests dont cause forest fires.

Too much brush causes the fire to grow and spread quickly out of control
