This time its in China! Wonder if they will ask for US's help, considering it took us 3 months to fix our own spill. laugh.gif

It upsets me so much.. we are all addicted to oil and the oil companies are making billions.... I wish that they would invest some of that billions to safety, better structural engineering, and safer drilling methods... Jesus, please help the oil spill in China and USA!!!

Small potatoes. What the BP spill is releasing happens naturally in the Gulf every year, and gets poured out as on-land spills in 3rd-world Africa. At least (from that stub article) it looks like this one is stopped (unlike with BP's pipe). Never mind that China is an environmental disaster everywhere there is industry. When the river turns colors and 1/4 your city gets cancer after a factory starts up, that's no good. Don't buy from China.

Nuke-you-lerh. It's clean. It's high-density production. It's proven-safe, mature technology. If you get some right-thinkers in office, you can recycle the fuel.
