So you can badmouth oil all you want. But we aren't the ones being hypocrites here. You are.
I was involved and responded to several spills, and other environmental emergencies. Invariably equipment breaks, and operators will make mistakes. Industry can do bettter, but thinking there will never be a spill, is folly.
BUT.. without fossil fuels, we would still be riding in horse and buggies, not have HVAC, be able to transverse the globe via flight, no plastic contianers, asphalt to drive on, have ability to mass produce rubber tires, medical devices, and a million other products and innovations to celebrate our technological advances of the past 120 years.
I kind of view TBR as a welcome respite of sanity, but when I see trolls championing the left wing banner of enviro-whacko-ism here, I am not gong to idly sit on my hands. 99%+ of the folks I worked with at several plants, are just as concerned about environmental protection as anyone else The ranks are full of fisherman and sportsmen who know and realize how important it is to minimize industy's impact.
And to the numbnut who is "polluting" this thread. I was proud of the stewardship I provided in my 40 years making sure that this took place not only legally, but proactively. 'll wager any amount that what I have done has 100X helped the cause more than the silliness you have provided here or wherever else you slither in.
