The Largest U.S. Oil Spill is Still Leaking After 14 Y

Yet another reason to #KeepItInTheGround. A 14-year chronic oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico could surpass BP’s Deepwater Horizon spill as the largest offshore disaster in U.S. history, the Washington Post reported.The spill stems from a Taylor Energy-owned production platform located 12 miles off the coast of Louisiana that was toppled by an underwater mudslide caused by Hurricane Ivan in 2004.

Between 300 to 700 barrels (12,600 to 29,400 gallons) of oil per day spews from multiple wells around the platform, according to a recent government-commissioned study.
This environmental horror story is amplified as the Trump administration plans to open up U.S. coastal waters to offshore drilling and as hurricanes are predicted to become more destructive due to climate change.

I wonder how many environmental disasters have been caused by green energy.

I would assume if they cheap out on what are known to be dangerous products they would do it across the board for anything that is 'manufactured' as all companies belong to the 'same club', the Stock Market, global version. Consumers can be sold goods that only harm them after an extended period.

People on the land where the raw materials are are 'in the way and not destined to be consumers' extermination by the cheapest method possible. 10 plagues Europe has went though singularly (created in the lab rather than the wild) and these are given to them all at once, Buh,bye.


Texaco had a name change due to their pollution in the Amazon, being caught is rare even today. Caught meaning paid in full to be a pollution free company. The money saved is earmarked for golf course only the elite play on.

Lots. in 2018 alone there have been two hydro dam failures.

River Power: Hydroelectric Dam Bursts in Colombia
15:00 19.05.2018
A dam in Colombia has failed due to faults in the construction of the hydroelectric power plant, resulting in roads being flooded. The incident was captured on video.

According to the local media, tens of thousands of people had to be evacuated after the Cauca River broke through the infiltration tunnel in Colombia. Two bridges, two schools and a hospital were destroyed and about 600 people lost their homes. The video captured by one of the workers shows people running away from the powerful burst of water that made its way through the tunnel.

PAKSE, Laos — Rescuers were searching Wednesday for villagers left missing when part of a newly built dam broke in southeastern Laos, flooding the surrounding countryside and killing at least 19 people.
More than 6,000 people lost their homes when the dam gave way on Monday, flooding surrounding villages.
Hundreds took shelter in nearby towns, traveling by bus and pickup trucks and sleeping on plastic sheeting.

Shoddy construction by the contractor in the 1st case makes it a green energy failure how? Did the power bring power to people who never had power before, let alone the devices that use power.
Love Canal is the US version of 'killing people in the name of a higher return for the shareholders', the World Bank controls 51% of all businesses so there are 'no accidents'. A dam failure was probably not intended, the risk and the possible victims status in society gave the green light.

Ah yes, but then hydro-electicity is now not thought to be quite so benign as it once was.

Oh, you want deaths? How about the 6 million that dies from air pollution each year? And I note you didn't take me up on my comment about hydro-power not being green. Really green power does not cause major disruptions to the environment or radically change ecosystems. Hydro power does both.

Windmills have not killed any birds. Changes in the sun have never caused any environmental changes resulting in droughts or floods or ice ages or anything to disrupt the environment or changes to ecosystems

 

[MHz]

Are you saying solar panels did all that?

Put the windmill underwater and the water will spin them 24/7 and the fish can play in the pressure wave and still become food for somebody.


Be a good place to set up a water bottling OP for the North American sheeple.

You are right for once. The number of animals killed by atmospheric pollution caused by the burning of fossil fuels far exceeds and killed by wind power. And I don't know of any killed by solar power.
