Valdez

Exxon Valdez.

Like the Exxon Valdez.

So he was defending the Exxon Valdez thing.

We know that from the Exxon Valdez spill, by the way.

That has been the equivalent of an Exxon Valdez spill every year since 1969.

Now, in the Exxon Valdez spill, about 30 percent of the killer whales died in the first few months.

And as you know, we lost about 300,000 sea ducks from the Exxon Valdez spill, and they haven't come back.

They were talking about Exxon Valdez, and that there was going to be a glut of oil tankers because of the insurance industries.

This is what the Exxon Valdez scientists thought would happen, this trophic cascade where you lose the kelp and the herring and other fishes and going up.

When one of these tar sands tankers, carrying the dirtiest oil, 10 times as much as the Exxon Valdez, eventually hits a rock and goes down, we're going to have one of the worst ecological disasters this planet has ever seen.

And in this period of time since that time as much oil, or twice as much oil as was spilled in the Exxon Valdez accident, was spilled in this little area of the Amazon, and the tribes in this area have constantly had to move.

Some of the greatest densities of, some of the most iconic and threatened species on the planet, and yet there's a proposal, of course, to build a pipeline to take huge tankers, 10 times the size of the Exxon Valdez, through some of the most difficult to navigate waters in the world, where only just a few years ago, a B.C. ferry ran aground.
