California's Largest Greenhouse Gas Polluters

The California Air Resources Board released the Top 100 largest CO2-emitting facilities in California and Aera Energy, the company that lead developer Mike Mohler said was dedicated to cleaning up the environment, when he spoke to the Newport Beach Chapter of the Surfrider foundation, made the list three times. Making this list three times is not an honor but a disgrace. Furthermore, Shell Oil and Exxon Mobil, who together own Aera, were ranked numbers 2 and 7. Yet, it has been Aera Energy who has been telling the public that they believe taking the last piece of open space we have is a great idea. Judging by the CARB's Top 100 list only shows that Aera Energy could care less about the environment, let alone saving it. Please contact the Newport Beach City Council and urge them to save the entire Banning Ranch property.
