Michigan Oil Spill

800,000 gallons of oil, directly into the Kalamazoo River, 60 miles from Lake Michigan. The names change, but the culprits are the same - Big Oil. This mess belongs to Enbridge Inc.. Gov. Granholm is not happy with the clean-up effort so far, I'm sure the estimate of oil is not true - the pipeline carries 8 MILLION gallons of oil per day - politicians are yapping at each other, and the oil is headed for a Great Lake that is already troubled. The leak occurred between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., on Monday and Enbridge didn't notify anybody until 1:30 p.m. But today the company said they are "doubling" their clean-up efforts. Had enough yet?
