@gruener_skatbruder Ja. Genau so muss man das machen: Wenn etwas nicht mehr lange zu haben ist, dann schnell noch das, was man bekommen kann, verbrauchen. Und dann fordern, dass die bösen Anderen, die dabei nicht mitmachen wollten bestraft werden, weil sie schuld sind, dass es nichts mehr gibt.
Oder vielleicht sollte Frau Reiche mal ein Sachbuch lesen statt die Mails von Exxon.
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.

A unique voice - an extract: “QatarEnergy declared force majeure. Two of 14 LNG trains damaged, one of two gas-to-liquids facilities hit, 12.8 million tonnes per year offline, 17% of Qatar’s export capacity gone, $20 billion in annual revenue evaporated, repair timeline of three to five years. And because the universe’s sense of humour remains fully operational: Exxon holds 34% of Train S4 and 30% of Train S6. An American oil major took a direct missile hit from a war America started. The insurer’s phone must be making fascinating noises.”
