WA: Legislators Consider Increased Barrel Tax To Bolster Oil Safety And Accountability

Legislators are trying to counter the specter of more oil spills. Please encourage these legislators! Be vigilant too when new oil projects are attempted to be shimmied through without the public's awareness. Two proposed bills are discussed (audio included) in this article by KNKX.org: http://www.tinyurl.com/h7lfe49
I noticed in watching the excellent 2014 documentary "The Great Invisible" directed by Margaret Brown that none of the safety concerns surrounding the 2010 Deepwater Horizon tragedy have been addressed by BP and the other oil companies represented by CEOs including Rex Tillerson who testified before Congressional committees. Furthermore there are even more oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico than before the disaster. Between pipelines, oil trains, tankers, oil rigs and other dangerous activities I see in the media, I get the impression that this cavalier attitude towards safety is "the norm."

USA & beyond: Are you in the Blast Zone? Stop oil-by-rail disasters! Please sign the petition.
The petition is addressed to President Obama but there is a pull-down menu for people from other countries when signing.
Did you know there are more than 25 million people at risk due to unsafe tanker cars carrying highly-flammable oil on our railways; near homes and schools. It's time to get these dangerous cars off the tracks and protect innocent communities!
Find out if you are in the Blast Zone by clicking on the link below and entering your zip code. Sign the petition demanding Congress stand up to Big Oil and get oil cars off the rails.
