Oilgushing, you say you mean no harm nut why are you here on a Sunday continuously pushing your de-ramping agenda?
I might have believed you had good intentions had your first few posts been about the environment, instead of purely de-ramping the share (you switched to the environment angle when you couldnt think of anything else to say) I also might have believed you actually cared for the environment had your name not been 'OilGushing' and had you not been a frequent poster in Oil shares... but hey ho money to be made as you said ; )
But as you are so so concerned about the environment lets take a look at the effects of oil has on it.
Big oil spills are known killers of wildlife. Just think back to the explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon rig in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010. The resulting spill covered 68,000 square miles of sea surface and killed approximately 1 million coastal and offshore seabirds, 5,000 marine mammals and 1,000 sea turtles.
Smaller spills, including of other substances in the oil extraction process, don’t always make the headlines but can also be dangerous. During oil extraction on land, drilling fluids are injected into the well for lubrication. These oil-based fluids known as "mud" are supposed to be captured in lined pits for disposal, but they’re often spilled and splashed around the drilling site.
Big and small, oil spills have been steadily increasing in the West’s top producing states. A recent report by the Center for Western Priorities found that 2,834 oil spills were reported by oil and gas companies in Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming in 2018 – a record number since the organization started to collect this data in 2015.
These spills can have long-term environmental impacts and devastating effects on animals through direct contact, inhalation and ingestion of toxic chemicals. Oil and chemical spills can
• Damage animals’ liver, kidney, spleen, brain or other organs
• Cause cancer, immune system suppression and reproductive failure
• Trigger long-term ecological changes by damaging animals’ nesting or breeding grounds
In spite of these risks, the federal government is attempting to quietly open several marine sanctuaries and wilderness lands to drilling. One of the most shocking plans would hand over 19 million acres of untouched wilderness in Alaska's Arctic Refuge to oil and gas companies. The disastrous move would expose fragile wildlife and tundra to oil spills.
And thats just the effects to the wildlife, shall i continue or will you do us all a favour and just feck off and get a life? im all for well constructed opposing views, so if you have any please post them, otherwise go away
