Today in Labor History March 24, 1989: The Exxon Valdez oil tanker ran aground in Prince William Sound, Alaska, dumping 240,000 barrels of crude oil. It was the largest oil spill in U.S. history until the Deepwater Horizon spill, in 2010. A major cause for the tanker’s collision was an overworked and under-rested crew, which the National Transportation Safety Board determined was a widespread practice. Thousands of people who participated in the cleanup efforts developed liver, kidney, lung, nervous system, and blood disorders due to 2-butoxyethanol and other agents that were used. An estimated 250,000 sea birds; 2,800 sea otters; 300 harbor seals, 247 bald eagles; 22 orcas; and unknown numbers of fish were killed by the spill. A study by the National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA found that 90 tons of oil remained on beaches in Prince William Sound in 2001. The devastation to the local fisheries caused the bankruptcy of the Chugach Alaska Corporation, an Alaska Native Corporation.

8. Le infrastrutture energetiche in fiamme
Droni iraniani hanno colpito la più grande raffineria del Kuwait. Missili iraniani hanno colpito il complesso Bazan di Haifa (40% raffinazione israeliana). QatarEnergy: 17% della capacità esportativa qatariota distrutta, 20 miliardi di dollari di entrate annue evaporate. Il paradosso finale: Exxon detiene quote significative degli impianti colpiti. Una major petrolifera americana ha ricevuto un missile in una guerra avviata dall'America.

Domani: La trappola di Hormuz imbriglia Trump: anche le Big Oil vogliono il dietrofront

La stizza del presidente: «Gli alleati non mandano le navi? Quando serve aiuto non ci sono. Io pronto a distruggere gli oleodotti». E poi l’attacco a un reporter: «Sei odioso». E su un articolo del Wsj: «È alto tradimento». Il messaggio di Exxon, Chevron & co alla Casa Bianca: «Le misure per contrastare il boom del petrolio sono solo dei palliativi».

The Hormuz Strait trap ensnares Trump: even Big Oil wants a backtrack.

The president’s stubbornness: “The allies aren’t sending ships? When help is needed, they aren’t there. I’m ready to destroy the oil pipelines.” And then the attack on a reporter: “You are hateful.” And on a WSJ article: “It’s a high treason.” The message from Exxon, Chevron & co. to the White House: “The measures to counter the oil boom are just palliative measures.”
