More California Fish Deaths, Another Suspect Power Plant




Just like in the earlier fish die off in Kings Harbor, Redondo Beach, THIS new round of dead fish in Ventura Harbor is accompanied by a power plant directly next to the bay. I've done no research on the holding tank systems, so I can't say with certainty (as I did with Redondo) that the energy company has mis-managed this plant, but it's a note worthy coincidence.

Billions of dead fish in King Harbor in Redondo Beach, CA


You think the large mismanaged Gas Power plant directly next to the Harbor had anything to do with it?



Another massive aqua-life die off is being reported today in King Harbor in Redondo Beach, California. I will show you visualizations and link to articles, but first, here is something I discovered within 10 minutes of investigation. There is a large Gas fired power plant directly beside the harbor. In every case where the wild life is dying, the Gas Industry is operating in the immediate vicinity. In this case, apparently, the AES Gas Power Plant has been documented to be operating illeagaly and unsafely for many years.
This post by "wguru" does a nice summery of their repeated environmental violations.

Large AES Gas Pollution Energy Plant.



The AES Corporation is a global power company with generation and distribution businesses. While the residents of Redondo Beach would love the plant closed down, and the city has fought to redevelop the area for it's beautiful views. AES do not care about local laws or development plans. Again they are a global power company. They may feel their power supersedes the laughable desires of a small city to be beautiful.
