Can you imagine a spill of roughly 1,085,400,000 gallons of oil? That’s “billion” with a “b.” What do you think that would look like?

According to many estimates, the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico is leaking anywhere between 500,000 to one million gallons of oil per day. To date, that would be anywhere between 26 - 53 million gallons of oil destroying God’s creation.

It’s being called the worst man made disaster in American history, but whoever is calling it that has failed to look back only two years ago to December 2008. That’s when over a billion gallons of toxic coal waste spilled across 3,000 acres of land and rivers in Kingston, TN. It was 5.4 million cubic yards. One cubic yard equal 201 gallons.

If my math is right, that makes the coal industry’s 2008 toxic spill almost 20 times larger than BP’s 2010 Gulf oil spill.

Those coal and oil industry execs really have a thing for putting a price on things they can never replace, don’t they? Have you ever heard of a solar or wind energy disaster?
