Supposedly crude leaks into the Gulf whether it is being drilled or not. Not sure I believe that or not.
As for companies like BP, they should have been nailed 100x as hard as they got it. They should be bankrupted and out of business right now. Instead they destroyed a lot of fish/mammals out in the Gulf and quite a few beaches. If you accidentally stepped on a tarball on the beach you knew it as it would break you out big time. Then the dispersant is probably just as dangerous as well.
But as we have learned the hard way here in Alabama with the PCB dumps into the local rivers by Monsanto, the fish can still be eaten but you would need to eat pounds at a time for it to really harm you.
yup. oil spills are never good, but all the lying by the people responsible should be dealt with,
by prosecuting them, and yes, B.P. execs should all be in jail. all of them got away with a slap on the wrists, justice was not done.
