Huell visits Edison’s Fuel Oil Storage Facility in Dominguez Hills and interviews Chuck Perry who’s responsible for the storage of 18 million barrels of oil that provide backup fuel for Edison’s electric generating plants that used natural gas as their primary fuel. Since then all of Edison’s generating plants, as well as the Dominguez Hills facility, have been decommissioned or sold.
