Energy Production at THUMS Island in Long Beach, California

EnergyTomorrow.org Jane Van Ryan of the Energy Tomorrow Blog, along with a group of bloggers, recently visited the THUMS Islands in Long Beach, California. The THUMS Islands, named after Texaco, Humble, Union, Mobil and Shell, are home to 1,100 active wells. From the exterior, the islands appear as resort communities with condos, waterfalls and sculptures. Energy production here has generated more than $5 billion in revenues for the city, state, and private owners.
