Actually these can be great for certain types of marine life. That is until there is an accident. Then it's not so good... |
A good greenie can't help it. Ya'll must have missed this part:
"Most oil spills occur from tankers, not production platforms or pipelines. Tankers are used to transport foreign oil here. We'd use less foreign oil if restrictions on offshore oil drilling were removed. Never mind that with the Mideast mess and Chavez in power in Venezuela we'll soon have less to transport here anyway. "
Katrina tore hundreds of platforms to sheds. Find one article about a spill! We do it better than anybody. Do you think those Chinese platforms are as good?
You guys can't buy a clue with a borrowed credit card!
So let's see, we can import less, pay less, with less risk to the ecology, PLUS cause sea life to blossom, OR we can prepare for MANBEARPIG! He's coming!
