The True cost of shipping oil >>

The TRUE cost of shipping oil
 
 

 

So let me get this straight. It takes between 21 to 35 days for a Russian oil tanker to get to US ports to be offloaded. It takes between 35 and 60 days for a tanker from the Middle East to make the same trek. It takes about 10 hours to load the tanker and up to 24 hours to unload. If it has to wait in port to get to an unloading dock, it can take up to 3 days. The average tanker burns 2,625 gallons of diesel fuel per hour. 22.38 pounds of CO2 are created from burning 1 gallon of diesel fuel. So, in one hour, a tanker ship hauling oil to a refinery in the US creates 58,757.5 pounds of CO2 per hour. Averaging the travel time of the tankers, that's 27.67 million tons of CO2 per trip. In comparison, your car creates between 6 and 9 tons per year. Without going into all the equations of how many tankers come to the US per year, let alone our exports, will someone please explain to me how drilling our own oil and moving it through pipelines, along with importing oil from Canada via pipeline will not be more environmentally "green" for the world.

Please explain to me why buying oil from another country is good for the environment?? Or better yet how buying oil from another country is better than pumping our own oil??

There’s nothing green about this other than these elites are lining their pockets with green.

Organization
Flying Tigers
The First American Volunteer Group of the Republic of China Air Force, nicknamed the Flying Tigers, was formed to help oppose the Japanese invasion of China. Operating in 1941–1942, it was composed of pilots from the United States Army Air Corps, Navy, and Marine Corps, and was commanded by Claire Lee Chennault. Their Curtis P-40B Warhawk aircraft, marked with Chinese colors, flew under American control. Recruited under President Franklin Roosevelt's authority before Pearl Harbor, their mission was to bomb Japan and defend the Republic of China, but many delays meant the AVG first flew in combat after the US and Japan declared war.

The French national archaeological institute Inrap detailed the finds and the scope of the excavation effort in a report published Thursday.

The initial surprise discovery of these hidden ancient treasures happened as teams began repair and reconstruction of the fire-damaged Notre Dame cathedral.

Construction on the cathedral began in 1163.

Inrap said the three-year excavation started with an "archaeological emergency" as archaeologists immediately began to identify, safeguard and sort all collapsed materials after the fire in 2019.

Among the finds were pieces of the lost rood screen of Notre Dame built around 1230. It was destroyed at the beginning of the 18th century.

"Thanks to the excavation, several hundred lapidary elements ranging from several hundred grams to nearly 400 kg were found, buried in the eastern area of the transept," Inrap said in its report.

 

The report marked the end of excavations at the crossing of the transept of the cathedral.

Graves were also discovered as several burials were identified and exhumed.

A lead sarcophagus was part of that find. Inrap said an indoscopic camera "made it possible to identify the presence of plant remains under the head of the deceased."

The excavation also revealed ceramic furniture dated to the 14th century. Now that this excavation has been completed, Inrap said a long period of analysis and study of the finds remains to be done.
