It’s fascinating to see just how quickly cleanups can go when the oil companies’
profits are at stake; just a few days have passed since an oil barge and bulk
carrier collided in the Houston Ship Channel, releasing nearly 200,000 gallons
of the stickiest, heaviest fuel oil into Galveston Bay. The spill contaminated
19 miles of shoreline and shut down the ultra-busy Ship Channel, making it
impossible for a number of major refineries to get their product to market.
