I am not an idiot, but thanks for the description of pollution. That is rediculous, Gummy F-Bear, We have seen the effects of a leak, the trees are still growing, animals and fish alike are still alive. The concrete got wet. RUH ROH.
Your concerns with pollution should be geared towards the companies that deserve it. If the PBR blew up and the tubes all blew up, the eco system and world as we know it would not be affected.
Tell me what effects, leaking tubes would have on the ecosystem??? Ought to look up what an ecosystem is. You realize algae and water is natural in an ecosystem??? I dont think the pavement will get hurt by the algae and water if it were to leak, then it may go into the drains and mix with the ALGAE AND WATER down there. I dont feel your concern is valid. If we were storing HUGE tanks of fuel on wooden sticks, then your concern may be valid. Tell me why you are so concerned with BEHL and the "ecosystem", give me facts, dont just say, they could ruin our ecosystem, tell my how and why you say that. IE: the PBR could blow up and take the U.S. off the maps. There would be a large ecosystem. Below is a blurb for you.
An ecosystem consists of all the organisms living in a particular area, (this includes humans and trees and plants and animals etc, I dont see a water and algae leak affecting this, my opinion) as well as all the nonliving (cars and concrete wont be hurt by algae and water leaking), physical components of the environment with which the organisms interact, such as air, soil, water, and sunlight.[1] It is all the organisms in a given area, along with the nonliving (abiotic) factors with which they interact; a biological community and its physical environment.[1] The entire array of organisms inhabiting a particular ecosystem is called a community.[1] In a typical ecosystem, plants and other photosynthetic organisms are the producers that provide the food.[1] Ecosystems can be permanent or temporary. Ecosystems usually form a number of food webs.[2]
