Tell the EPA to Hold Taylor Energy Accountable for 15 Year Old Leak in the Gulf

From PennEnvironment (http://www.pennenvironment.org):

An oil company has been spilling up to 4,500 gallons of oil into the ocean every day — and now it’s fighting a federal order to stop the leak.¹

A Taylor Energy oil platform sunk off the Louisiana Coast all the way back in 2004, and it’s been leaking oil ever since.

That’s why we’re joining our friends at Environmental Action to tell the EPA: Make Taylor Energy clean up its mess. Act now at https://environmental-action.webaction.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=33897.

When we drill, we spill. It’s why we should ban offshore drilling entirely. We shouldn’t risk our oceans for a little bit more oil that we don’t need.

But banning new offshore drilling won’t stop this leak, and we need to hold Taylor Energy accountable.

Add your name.
