Here's a little tidbit for you all..

The Exxon Valdez accident was in an area that pretty screwed up to get to.

Cold oil don't move as quickly.

Plus, the currents will help dilute the oil faster.

I remember guys on the clips that were helping clean up by picking up rocks and cleaning them individually.


Not really good stuff to worry about in the first place, but more positive than having to do it in Alaskan weather/areas.

It's a bad situation, but doesn't anyone think positively anymore?

It's all common sense and I laugh, get angry and turn the channel when some IDIOT with more schooling that I have cannot look at the problem at hand and say something that doesn't call for the end of the world.

It's a messed up deal, but we will overcome it.

Now? remember when someone starts b!tch!ng about OSD, tell them we can get cheaper oil if we move those platforms a tad closer to shore. That way, when it blows up, we don't lool like idiots in the media.
