Massive mess
Re: “Oil cleanup plan the real catastrophe,” Lisa Van Dusen, (May 5,
2010). You can understand why Gulf Coast residents, “people who live on
and off of the water, and whose lives may soon be about nothing but
oil,” deserve our sympathy. But some sympathy should also be set aside
for the wildlife impacted by the oil spill. Consider that it takes only
one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to
wildlife. Before we put ‘paid’ to this disaster, how many millions of
quarts of motor oil in equivalence will have been dumped into the Gulf
waters?
