"Chevron also had no plan to address significant economic losses when the facility went offline. Aside from contractor layoffs and their debilitating effects on local families, Alaska lost up to $2 million a month in revenues while the facility remained closed, according to state figures." Are you joking?????? Chevron is supposed to pay even when it isn't making a penny? F me. What a distorted view of reality... Ah, the alarmism over nothing – so typical and so pathetic.

What we found most troubling was the allegiance shown between an oil company and the U.S. Coast Guard, which is supposed to be holding a bit more distance between itself, as a regulator of federal clean water laws, and corporations. Cook Inlet Keeper did some good work bringing this issue to light. Thank you for being there. Bob Shavelson brings up excellent points about the need to remain vigilant with such agencies.
