Oil is dangerous, be it…
to acquire (Deepwater Horizon)…
to transport: by truck (diesel truck explosion), by train (Quebec oil train explosion), by pipeline (Arkansas and Prudhoe Bay), by sea (Exxon Valdez and others)...
to refine (Texas City refinery disaster)...
to consume (carbon dioxide emission and global warming).
And that doesn’t even include accidents from coal mining, diseases from coal mining (and embedded links) and fracking for oil and gas.
It is long past time to leave the fossil fuels to the paleontologists and move on to 21st century clean, renewable energy sources (wind, solar, hydroelectric, tidal…).
