Back to oily shrimp for a moment, BP has an appalling track record breaking safety rules resulting in disaster. Remember the 2005 Texas City refinery explosion?

Are there any of the big oil companies that don't have an environmental disaster to their name?Originally Posted by kb2vxa
Unlikely. I believe, however, if you do a little research, you'll find BP is far and away the leader in disasters.

I thought that title belonged to XOM.
Compared to the oil industry the nuclear industry is far safer.

Havent heard of any solar or wind farm disasters lately. Or ever, really.

These things can be done safely if the corporations want to. Pharmaceuticals, for example. I work at many big pharma plants that produce raw chemicals for medications. They use some of the most dangerous solvents known to man, and their track records (at least here) seem pretty good. One plant I do work at produces "Klucel", the slippery substance that makes many pills easy to swallow. That plant previously produced solid rocket fuel, and they still use some of the same solvents.
Big oil has a bad track record because they put profits above everything else, totally unnecessary considering they produce a commodity that they virtually hold a monopoly on.
QAnon / GOP Republicans mentally lack the necessary intelligence to even tell a decent lie (Ex: A cabal of Satanic, cannibalistic pedophiles run a global child sex trafficking ring and conspired against former President Dotard dRUMPf during his term in office... Jewish space lasers, etc.). What in the hell makes anyone believe these melon heads can actually govern?
I wonder how the stats would look if they were based on disasters per unit of energy produced.
Oil spills happened a lot in the 1940s, thanks to the German Navy.
Mother Nature cleaned them up over time.
But Mother Nature did not use 2 million gallons of toxic dispersant

and a lemming-herd public that barely has the mental horsepower to wipe its own ass.
That stuff is waaaaay more poison than oil. The Almighty only knows how long
it will take it to settle-out of the food chain. If it ever does.
