1,381 barrels of Bunker fuel.

Doesn’t sound quite as dramatic, does it?

How about - 211 metric tons? Even less exciting.

But 58 THOUSAND GALLONS!!!! Well, that’s something a Greenie can get his anger around, eh?

FWIW, I suspect the Bay areas gets far more in Non Point Source (NPS) oil pollution every couple of months in the rainy season.

Better yet, that makes 232,000 QUARTS of bunker oil.

Ooooh, THAT should make some envirowhackos short hairs stand up!
