black oil

“The beach filled with this really thick — almost pudding-like — black oil,” said Linda Krop, chief counsel of the Environmental Defense Center.

It dumped three million gallons of oil into the ocean; covered the beaches in slick, black oil; and killed thousands of animals.

Favorites include cracked corn, black oil sunflower seeds, and mealworms.

“A pound of black oil sunflowers is equivalent to a pound of acorns,” Gibbs says.

Turning methane into auto fuel, Cartwright noted, is “a heck of a lot greener than simply refining heavy black oil.”
