You're kidding. The platforms dump their garbage into the Gulf? Oh they're going to love that in CA. And Florida... they also don't talk much about the many, many minor oil spills.

No, he's just making shit up again. Most trash on TX beaches come from ships. .... As for those globs of gook on the Texas and Mexico beaches, that's usually processed oil, mostly from cruise and cargo ships pumping out their bilges offshore. Some oil bubbles up naturally. Yes, there are some rig spills, but not many. Fortunately for us, the gulf current takes that stuff west into the Big Bend rather than onto our shores. Even now, old shoes and other debris from New Orleans are washing up on Galveston beaches. As for the murky Texas and Louisiana coastal water, that's the outpouring of silt and pollution from the heartland brought down by the Mississippi, Atchafalaya, Sabine and other rivers. ... sptimes.com news.yahoo.com
