You want to believe what you want to believe.

The trash on TX beaches comes from ships. BTW S Padre are the best beaches I've seen. Comparable to HA.

I really started to buy into their BS until I did a google. There were at least 3 major spills in the Gulf just last year. Why are they always so ready to sell their souls for a few bucks?

Leatherman has seen what offshore drilling can do to a beach. Texas beaches, for instance, "tend to be the trash can of the gulf." Waste from the western gulf's wells - everything from empty oil drums to tar balls - washes up there.

Isn't this what CJ has been posting here? I suspect some of that garbage is based solely on the sh*tty attitude of oil men.


Most of that is natural tar which seeps through faults under the ocean. Some may be #5 fuel oil which seeps from leaking ships. The crude oil the wells are sucking up are not tar balls but much thinner than that.

Texas beaches are lousy compared with many others, but it isn't because of oil or garbage. S. Padre being the exception, as Hugh noted.
