Oil Disaster In Gulf, Tanker Ship On Fire And Sinking
Another oil disaster occurring in the Gulf of Mexico right now. If I hear one more person complain about electric cars……
I captured an image from a vessel fighting the fire. As you can see, there is gas or diesel on fire in the water.
Sorry, tried to embed video, didn’t work, here’s the link.

This is on top of 4 US refineries being shut down right now too. BP Whiting in Indiana, Port Arthur TX, and two in CA.
All because fracked crude is corrosive and explosive thanks to the sulfate reducing bacteria in it which produces methane and Hydrogen Sulfide.
Microorganisms are one area of interest. They inhabit petroleum energy reserves with one type of microbe – sulphate reducing bacteria. This is responsible for an issue known as reservoir souring, which Carmen Li, laboratory manager at the Geomicrobiology Group described as, “the production of H2S, or hydrogen sulphide”
Thisis a major problem for the oil industry ,” Li went on to explain. “Not only because H2S is toxic, but it also costs the oil industry billions of dollars due to things like corrosion of the oil production infrastructure, and also due to the production of lower value petroleum because it contains higher levels of sulphur contamination.”

The fire will burn off all of the oil then huh?
So fracking is not a good idea after all huh?
