Exxon Is Really Good At Oil Spills
After all these years Exxon still hasn't learned it's lesson. Around 24 years ago the Exxon Valdez bungled the Prince William Sound in Alaska with between 257,000 to 750,000 barrels of oil after running aground.
Now the company is having trouble in Arkansas where a pipeline has broken vomiting oil all over a quiet neighborhood. Video and description below.
84,000 gallons of oil leaked nto the Central Arkansas town of Mayflower in Friday, spilling into neighborhoods. Treehugger reports, Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor was one of one the seventeen Democrats that joined all the Republican Senators in voting for symbolic approval of the Keystone XL pipeline. Pryor has claimed the pipeline will help create jobs in Arkansas, where some of the pipe is manufactured, however as Bloomberg reported recently, the project will only create 20 full time jobs, not the thousands that Pryor, TransCanada and other supporters like to talk about."
