I don’t think this is a political issue at all Patrick. This is an enviromental issue that we should all be aware of. Since this spill I have tried not to buy exxon gas. If this happened nationally and we all stated our reason as the lack of clean up from the Valdez spill then maybe more would happen.
Patrick how come there has not been more of a clean up? Is anything beening done in the courts to change this situation?
The contamination is staggering when you look at that graphic.
Not that I’m defending Exxon (I’m not) but is it possible there are good reasons for the lack of cleanup?
Meaning, if in order to effect an efficent clean up theres a risk of doing some other harm? Either having to build the roads/infrastructure to get the machinery in, or if they have to remove thousands of tons of sand might that do irrepable damage to some other part of the ecosystem?
