This has got to be one of the worst ideas the oil industry ever came up with. Chevron’s “inherited” crude-oil storage facility at Drift River sits smack dab in the middle of Mt. Redoubt’s eruption plume. Some say it could be Alaska’s next Exxon Valdez.
It’s not good to store your precious energy reserves downstream from an active volcano. Oil, lava and water do not mix well; they must have known that. What were they thinking anyway?
