thedailygreen.com — At least 500,000 gallons of oil -- nearly 12,000 barrels -- spilled into the ocean and tidal wetlands along the Texas and Louisiana coasts after Hurricane Ike ripped up oil platforms, and ruptured tanks and pipelines, according to an Associated Press investigation.

Oil=environmental damage through extraction, refining, and use. By the time this new oiil is ready to use we could have replaced that many barrels through conservation, greater efficiency, and a shift to alternative fuels. Drilling was political expediency at its worst. These oil spills do lasting damage, no matter if you clean them up.

"oh yes and release tons of bad gases into the atmosphere doing so."And tons of particulate raining back down into the water....but it's cool, as long as we keep the fish from going near it...and stuff.

That would have to be one f**king huge bottle of cooking oil. (By the way, cooking oil is biodegradable and burns quite cleanly.)

And yet the Repubs will tell you there's no such thing as an oil spill.
