There are micro organisms that actually eat oil as well.

Yes but not nearly in such copious amounts

i'm surprised no one is calling out this tribal oil for oppressing and discriminating the animal life

im a lawyer an an animal rights activist for a couple of seagulls in SB and we are actively preparing a lawsuit against the oil that has spilled on our coastline and discriminated against our beaches. we will not stand for this kind of hatred and intolerance! why can't that bigoted oil be more open-minded?

Most of the Oil harvested off the coast and in California stays on the west coast anyway.

Also oil natural leaks from the Ocean floor. There are micro organisms that actually eat oil as well.

The oil that occasionally springs out of the bedrock in the ocean is essentially nothing compared to the most major human oil spills.

Also, the micro-organisms that eat oil do nothing to stall the environmental damage that oil spills cause. Yeah, it'll eventually get cleaned up, but human-orchestrated efforts have still failed to clean up even 25% of the BP oil spill. (That figure was outdated, sorry)

Source, PLEASE.

On second inspection, the source I was looking at was pretty outdated.

Regardless, the oil spill still has devastating impacts that still carry on today. Fish are being caught with unusually frequent defects and there's been record low numbers of offspring for tons of marine animals.

I hope one day that it will be possible to switch to safe alternative fuels.

and yet environmentalists oppose nuclear power because of all the poor little animals that live in bedrock hundreds of feet under the desert and other dumb stuff

The anti-nuclear movement is the main reason why I avoid associating with 'environmental activists'.

It takes serious gusto to campaign for 'safer energy' and then reject a source that both fulfills power demand and quantitatively results in far less deaths than all other primary energy sources.

forget Greenpeace.
