“There was very little acknowledgement of the ongoing release.”

James Hartwell reveals the secret of the eternal leak in the Gulf of Mexico, the Taylor Energy disaster. Although the company was forced to present information on its 11-year leak in the Gulf of Mexico, the meeting spurred more questions than answers. Lt Gen Russel Honore of the GreenArmy, a statewide environmental movement in Louisiana, excused himself after a Taylor representative threatened to shut down the meeting because the General asked questions concerning the environmental impacts of the ongoing oil leak. AP reports that the site will leak indefinitely, according to government sources.

This is the Gulf of Mexico......and each yellow dot shows where oil or other hazardous materials have been spilled into the ocean.  The 3000 dots show the reports that had enough information to pinpoint them on a map, but there were actually 5100 incidents reported.

As if that's not shocking enough, these incidents represent JUST ONE YEAR of records and that they were all reported in the year AFTER the enormous BP oil leak was finally sealed and have nothing to do with that dreadful leak.

According to Skytruth, the United States Congress has yet to pass any new laws governing offshore drilling safety.  In fact, they are going backwards by reducing funding for government inspections and oversight.

What the **** are we doing to our oceans!?
