Texaco
30 Times Worst than Exxon Valdez
National
and international diffusion about the ecological
genocide caused by US Texaco in the Ecuadorian
Amazonia, estimated at 30 times worse than the
Exxon Valdez oil spill disaster, has the company
on the rack and trying to shift the blame.
Now that the world is aware of the contamination
caused by Texaco in the region, that entity is
trying to blame Petroecuador for its
wrongdoings, the FDA (Amazonia Defense Front)
sustained in a release.
However, scientific tests and other evidence
corroborate that zones other than those operated
by the Ecuadorian state company are
contaminated.
The text recalled that Petroecuador was in
charge of wells exploited by Texaco after that
company left the country in 1992, which
corroborates that regional contamination began
with the US entity s hydrocarbon operations.
Foreign experts sustain this is the world s
worst environmental disaster ever caused by oil
extraction, as it is estimated Texaco threw 18
billion gallons of toxic water, and left 1,000
ponds full of crude oil in the Ecuadorian
forest.
