Officials have yet to find the source of the oil spill, which has left chunky globules and long slicks near a 67-mile-long pipeline system off the coast of Louisiana.
For comparison, this is less than 1% of the deepwater horizon spill, and they’ve turned off the entire pipeline so there’s little danger of it increasing in size.
The danger, as the article says, is letting them continue to operate in the area. At what point do we say “okay we’ve nearly totally fucked this place up, find someplace else”

Ideally? Back in 2010 when BP made it clear they were systemically hiding critical safety and environmental control failures.
The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The next best time is right now.
It may be too late to save humanity, but it’s never too late to do the right thing.
Any oil spill is terrible, but this article is blatant bullshit, written for clickbait.
1% of the largest environmental disaster of all time isn’t a great frame of reference.
