Read up on the Yellowstone river oil spill of 2011. They are still trying to clean that up.First of all anything you write is embarrassing as you don't provide ANY proof! No links...like the below!
So 1 million barrels floating 1 mile on the open ocean is safer than 700 barrels in a pipeline traveling 1 mile on dry land?
Sorry but experts know which is a bigger danger. I would ask you if these experts are embarrassing?
David Valentine, Professor of Earth Science and Biology at UCSB, (what is Surada's expertise?)))
says it is better to have soil spills than ocean spills:
“In general, spills to soil are more contained than spills to water, and thus cleanup is more straightforward.
Damage is often lesser for soil spills. For this reason an aquatic spill (including marine) tends to be more harmful than a spill to soil.”
Linda Krop, Chief Counsel at the Environmental Defense Center (EDC) in Santa Barbara, California, agrees. “Spills in soils cause less damage and are easier to clean up effectively.” She adds that pipelines are unlike other modes of oil transportation because they can have safety features that make large leaks preventable:
