fuel pollution, at the price of the litre, it’s a waste

And we dare to come back to what happened in Os-Marsillon on Tuesday: hydrocarbon pollution in the Baïse river. The so pretty Baïse when it meanders between the slopes of Lacommand, Parbayse or Abos. So it must be recognized, at Os Marsillon and at the height of the Lacq basin, the setting is less bucolic. But that’s no reason. It is not anecdotal pollution. The watercourse is contaminated for 800 meters, the firefighters tell us. It’s diesel or fuel oil. According to the first elements of the gendarmerie investigation, this spill is obviously not accidental. And we dare to say to ourselves this morning that at the current price of fuel oil, it’s silly and it’s also a waste.
