Thermoguy,
And you should include the costs fix the 100,000 abandoned oil wells in Alberta. The average cost to do so is $1,000,000.00 each. Of course the owners of those wells filed for bankruptcy, leaving the taxpayer to mitigate the damage.
When is an oil spill a spill? Only if there are 750 barrels. Enough to drive my RV for about a million miles.
If we don't extract it, it WILL eventually work it's way to the surface, naturally..
Ever hear of "tar pits"?
Those are naturally formed pools of the alleged harmful hydro carbon..
Here is one of the most famous ones..
La Brea Tar PitMorePictures of another natural "petroleum spring"
HEREPerhaps every mile of asphalt of every road needs to be removed down to dirt and put into EPA approved hazardous dumps which are lined with liners made of the same hyrdo carbon molecules as we are driving on a solid cesspool of bad for the earth hydro carbon?
