Oil spill worse than first thought
http://cnews.canoe.ca/CNEWS/Canada/2004/11/22/725999-cp.html
But this is what caught my attention:
Bob O'Brien, of the environmental group Ocean Net, said the area is home to many nesting birds and there will be habitat destruction.
"You're dealing with nature and its forces," he said. "I think the infrastructure that we have in place to clean up spills is probably very adequate, but you can't fight nature and its forces."
O'Brien said he's comfortable that Petro-Canada has been diligent in preparing for such a spill.
"We just need a weather break right now," he said.
Um wheres all the doom and gloom and deathly predictions that we normally get when theres a spill? Is the Sierra Club gonna come and take away this guy away?
