You are the one who is wrong most of the time. Oil spills are bad , for awhile, but it’s like over-fertilizing your lawn. At first it burns everything and it turns brown and dead looking. Later, as the rain and time dilutes it, everything comes back better than ever. I knew an old indian, told me he killed weeds out of his fence-line with kerosene. Said he had to do it two, sometimes three times a year. I just smiled. When you see plants killed off around oil operations it’s almost entirely caused by the saltwater that is pumped along with the oil. It too can be repaired soon after the saltwater is ceased. When the Deepwater Horizon rig blew out in the gulf, they made such outrageous claims about how the Gulf Coast and all the fishing industry was ruined forever. The next year it was back nearly to normal. The year after that it was better than it had been in a long time.
Oil is fertilizer. They make fertilizer for farmers out of it. Years ago, sailing ships would drag their lines in the ocean behind them, to oil them, to keep them from drying out and breaking from solar and wind damage. Oil seeped into the sea from underground because of pressure. When the indians around here found it floating in the creek, they skimmed it up and took it back to the village where they would drink it to cure stomach problems and as a liniment for horses. It is a well known remedy for mange. Saltwater - chlorine - on the other hand, will kill anything and everything on land.
