I've asked this forum several times and YET not ONE environmentalist supporter has answered this question:
Why would you environmentalists WANT 1 million barrels per day in tankers at risk for shipwreck due to weather, crew errors, equipment problems versus less then 300 barrels per day at risk in a one mile length of buried pipeline?
I mean ask ANYONE on the street .. which is a larger number:
1 million barrels or 300 barrels?
Which would have a Greater damage to the environment.. one million barrels on the ocean on 300 barrels from a buried pipeline?
Which would have the greater CHANCE of spilling one million barrels from a shipwreck (consider the current cruise ship spilling 11,000 barrels right now) or 300 barrels in one mile of pipeline.
I have always been taught 1 million is a lot more then 300!
