Chapter 620: There's something going on here
"Didn't the oil tanker's employer lose money and didn't clean up this polluted sea? What about the Mexican government? They will always find a way to deal with it, right?" Jinyang didn't understand that someone should be responsible for such a big accident, right?
Isn't technology very advanced now? As long as you are willing to spend money and time, oil pollution should not be too much of a problem, right?
In that case, why is San Jose still what Charlie says it is?
This is a bit of a twist, and the people who listen to it are confused.
"Yang, listen to me, things are a bit complicated here, let me think about it... Well, let's put it this way, here's how it happened..."Charlie thought for a moment before continuing.
Listening to Charlie's eloquent words, Jin Yang finally understood some of the current situation on this small island and understood what was going on.
Mexico has the 13th largest oil reserves in the world, the United States ranks 11th, and the Gulf of California has a large share of the oil reserves.
In the Gulf of California and the Gulf of Mexico, there are many huge rigs around many seas and small islands, and the amount of crude oil extracted each day is staggering, and there are countless cruise ships that transport it to and from it.
As we all know, the area is just as famous for its hurricanes as its oil, and the annual whizzing hurricanes bring countless property damage to the countries surrounding the Gulf.
Unfortunately, a year ago, a giant oil tanker was hit by a rare hurricane that caused a major oil spill that polluted hundreds of square kilometers of the surrounding sea, including San Jose Island.
The tanker's employer compensated the Mexican government and local residents of San José a large sum of money because the sea was polluted, and then, of course, the ship's employer had nothing to do with the major oil spill.
After all, people are paying!
But again, the Mexican government has only done a lot of work to clean up the oil pollution caused by the oil spill.
As for where the large sum of money in compensation went, who knows?
Anyway, the fat-brained guys just cleaned up the polluted sea near the American side, and ignored San Jose Island as if it wasn't their land at all.
Not to mention the residents who originally lived on San Jose Island, although they received a large amount of compensation, they are also a group of ordinary people, and where can they handle things that the government can't handle?
So the residents moved away one after another to live a good life in the nearby city of La Paz, and as for the pain of being uprooted from their homes, it did not exist, and the Europeans and Americans did not like it.
So in the end, this originally beautiful island has completely become a desert island, and the surrounding sea is even more lifeless like hell, and almost all the life around it has died, and this place has completely become a forbidden area for life.
A good island has become like this, although the heads of the Mexican government don't care much, but after all, the impact of this oil spill is very great, and they are also disgraced, but they don't want to spend huge energy and a lot of money to clean up oil pollution, so what should they do?
So, a few fat-brained guys summed it up, and they just sold the island, hoping that some fool would take a fancy to it, and then the oil pollution would be left to the hapless owner to have a headache.
"These damn politicians, they all deserve to hell. Jin Yang gritted his teeth and scolded, those politicians are simply not people, oil pollution is a global problem, and almost the entire ecosystem can cause considerable damage.
If a large area of the sea is polluted by oil and has not been effectively treated, it is basically considered to be wasted, and it is not known how many years it will take to rely on the recovery capacity of the ocean itself to clean up the pollution.
Humans, how many years are there?
"That's right, they all deserve to go to hell, and a large part of the problem of marine pollution is so serious now that it's because of the inaction of these people, who only care about their immediate pleasures and don't think about our future generations..."
Charlie followed up and complained, it seems that he also disagrees with the practices of these people, but it is a pity that the power of individuals is small after all, and environmental protection does not depend on a certain person's words.
Yan'er listened with his ears pricked up for a long time, and finally couldn't help but step forward and interject: "Uh, sorry, can I interrupt for a moment? I still don't understand, San Jose Island is also a large island, and there are even residents living on it, and those politicians are so disregarding the lives of their citizens that they are not afraid of causing riots?"
Western countries have always flaunted "democracy" and "freedom", and often put on their lips the phrase "the sanctity of individual life and private property".
Not to mention a major event like oil pollution, even if I was bitten by a dog, I had to scare the air, sue the property, the hospital, and the government... This is nothing new.
Especially those environmental protection associations and other public welfare organizations, which can be a headache for people's lives, people do not sue for terror and violence, and second, they do not slander in the back, people are protesting, and even a large group of people can carry a flag and squat at the door of your house all day long, and they can't get rid of it.
This kind of kraft candy that can't be shaken off if it's sticky is a headache that anyone can die of, because the Mexican authorities don't care at all?
There's something going on here!
Sure enough, Charlie smiled bitterly when he heard this, "Miss Yang, I know what you said, in the United States, in many developed countries in Europe, it is impossible for the government not to ignore these, they care about international influence, and they also care about the opinions of their own people."
It's a pity that it's Mexico, it's a place where drug dealers and gangsters are rampant, some big drug lords and even the government can't do anything about them, there are riots and riots almost every day, and if you don't bring a gun on the street, you may not dare to go out...
What can you expect the government to do about the pollution of a small part of the sea in such a place? The people are even less interested in this, all they care about is what they will eat next time, whether they will see the sun tomorrow...
Also, there is something special about San Jose Island, so I think it's normal that the Mexican government and people are not interested here. ”
At the end, Charlie's tone was a little weird, as if... San Jose Island is especially unpopular, even before it was polluted.
"Weird? Charlie, can you make that clearer? I don't quite understand. Jin Yang wondered.
Isn't it just an island? What else can be weird? Could it be that there can be ghosts up there?
