  • This is exactly it. I’m not making excuses for these companies messing up and being negligent I think it’s fine they get a spotlight on these things. However it’s just like the railroad derailings that were hot recently. After it was news we were seeing huge headlines of derailings like every single day and not anymore. I have family members as engineers in the railroad and I know that there’s derailings literally all the time but it was only reported so much because it was the new hot topic for a while. Again not defending the railroads in the cases where huge disasters were also caused due to negligence fuck them for that too












  • Some things like this would benefit from being sensationalized though right? Would be better if a lot of people actually were pissed about this and that it would be over responded to.

    I definitely hope it’s less than a million gallons, but whether it’s a million gallons or 300 thousand gallons or 500 this evokes much the exact same response from me. Just because it’s a horrid thing wasn’t an even more horrible thing doesn’t make either not a bad thing.

    I think people just aren’t responding well because when you explain that it’s an estimate and could be lower that you might be trying to downplay the situation. Like it’s not 100 it’s actually 80 so no one should be mad kinda thing





  • You have a lot of really good points here that I wish more people would think on

    A little bit you talk about when the trees start to die and re release the carbon as if there aren’t new trees taking their place.

    I understand that more carbon has been extracted than there was in circulation before. But in the same way that you hate rich people trying to get richer by selling offsets and planting trees it’s the same as this inventor and their shitty bricks. In my opinion it’s even less viable than environment restorations even though as we both agree they won’t all the way solve the problem. I do agree that no one’s come up with a real solution and we definitely need some kind of long term mega scale storage
