What If An Oil Spill Happened in the Arctic?

Part of the boom in oil is all about chaotic expansion, with fracking, keystone pipeline and now this in the Arctic. Divide and conquer; no one has a clue as to what's going on, thus the oil nazis move forward without interruption. Perhaps they are spread too thin ....

We might be onto something if the oil industry spent as much time and money figuring out how the arctic ecosystem works and ways to eliminate risks associated with oil spills as they do "influencing" our political system.

Saving the environment and clean energy, retrofitting the grid and our housing and commercial buildings are where the jobs are - continuing to feed an already obese dirty energy sector is stupid
