“Oil On Road” … And Hotheads Too

That’s what the sign said: “Oil On Road.” There must have been a spillage, or perhaps an accident. How long before there is no oil on the road? Probably decades — as electric transport slowly supplants the diesel and petrol cars and trucks of today. Even without accidents, there is always a film of oil on the road from unburnt fuel and dripping sumps. Watch the news after a little rain makes the oil and petrol float off the surface of the road, making it slippery.

My daughter recently witnessed a Tesla Model 3 being rear-ended by a tradie with a trailer — all because the Tesla driver stopped as the lights were about to go red. I facetiously asked, “Did the Tesla burst into flames?” She replied, “No, but the driver looked like he was going to.” I am not suggesting that Tesla drivers are better drivers. I am sure that as more and more electric cars hit the highways, accidents will increase as people who like to speed get cars that can really perform.

Firm restarting oil pipeline involved in California spillAn offshore pipeline involved in a 2021 oil spill that fouled Southern California beaches is being put back in service. Amplify Energy Corp. says it received approval from federal regulatory agencies to restart operations and last weekend began the two-week process of filling the pipeline. The pipeline carries oil to shore from platforms in San Pedro Bay, near the Los Angeles and Long Beach harbors. Amplify Energy recently announced a settlement with companies associated with two ships it accused of dragging anchors and striking the pipeline during a January 2021 storm, leading to the spill of 25,000 gallons of crude months later. Am I the only one who’s been to a Cali beach? There is raw bitumen everywhere, for decades. Surfers bring solvents to clean their boards and themselves after surfing.
