Reality:

44 oil spills found in southeast Louisiana

Largest is nearly 4 million gallons, most big ones are on Mississippi River

More than 500 specialists are working to clean up 44 oil spills ranging from several hundred gallons to nearly 4 million gallons, the U.S. Coast Guard said in an assessment that goes far beyond initial reports of just two significant spills.

The report comes nearly three weeks after Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, and reflects the fact that the Coast Guard and other agencies are able to only now tackle environmental problems since the search and rescue effort is winding down.

The Coast Guard estimates more than 7 million gallons of oil were spilled from industrial plants, storage depots and other facilities around southeast Louisiana.


Any questions?

What does The Terrible-Tempered Mr. Bang REALLY have in mind for "energy self-sufficency"--abundant ersatz gasolines from Abundant American Coal, in the good old South African stylee?

(And @ deliberately subsidised prices, no less, the better to encourage waste as "American Patriot Love made manifest," besides.)
