YOU PUMPED IT OUT OF THE GROUND!!!
RE: Why is it bad to spill crude oil on the ground?
Because it is insightly and dirty/greasy to us humans?
We used to drill for oil on my Dad’s farm in NW PA. We’d hit salt water, use a bulldozer to dig a hole in the ground. We’d pump the salt water out, into the hole. Years later, I’d hunt the hole and get 30-40 frogs out for family picnic use. Now days you have to contract with a tanker company to haul off the saltwater so they dump it in the Allegheny river.
#7 shhh!
BTW In Santa Barbara the cliffs there are oozing oil with tar balls all over the beaches there plus there are millions of barrels of oil leaking out of the earth everywhere into the ocean.
