“Won’t in evaporate or dissipate naturally?”

Back 100 years ago great quantities of oil leached out of the sand off the coast of Beaumont TX. The VOC’s evaporated and covered the beaches with tar balls.

Deepwater Horizon oil spill
“Back 100 years ago great quantities of oil leached out of the sand off the coast of Beaumont TX. The VOC’s evaporated and covered the beaches with tar balls.”

I was working a communications upgeade project for the Coast Guard back during deepwater horizon, and I had the opportunity to talk to a lot of Coast Guard personnel and pilots - they told me that the Gulf has fissures down deep that always leaks oil, the estimate is that natural leakage occurs at a rate equal to the entire deepwater horizon blowout... and that’s per year!

The pilots told me that they’re always flying over “sheen” out there and it’s naturally occurring.

The MSM never covered that fact.
