surprise surprise and mile friend and and just an absolutely brilliant
political commentator blogger

I'm well enough it's really yeah yeah
I appreciate you so much I'm paying attention to this
remarkable anniversary that I'm you know the Exxon Valdez
style yeah yet where you it and and I gotta say it's been way too long since
we've now been up there
in anchorage in I'm out all night long in the the Midnight Sun with you and
and and fan family and friends it was the last time which is
so its own eyes II I hope everybody is doing well
arm but the it but the much many of our listeners and viewers
may be new to you you were a Fisher
woman fishermen I was the fish which
fish which okay I yeah I know I started
I for commercial fishing in 1978 with my family and I what time
I was part is a herring fishery on a hundred about when
on exxon valdez happened right so that
whole the my eyes
yeah it's %uh formal ivory away like that always a life has been devastated
by Exxon Valdez and I'm
it has been for are
for a lottery and am right after the still i mean
you you know how huge alaska's and and
you know the fish market crash for areas alaska that we're even
affected by the still there were thousands of miles away
people you know fishing for salmon but the markets were devastated
for years there were people like well you know what do you
you don't you don't have to put oil in the pan to fry salmon anymore you know
I'm selfish
that affected that affected you know the whole fishery for a while but definitely
there areas that 1300 miles of coastline
that was affected and the herring fishery that never returned to Prince
William Sound in
the birds never returns are they tried but because of all the chemicals his
their their shelf wooden hold together when they sat on them
fell the birds aren't there arm and
and what it gated communities I'm there was never the need for
a you know shelters for battered women I'm
there's a futurist racial level that happened because X I just kept ringing
alaska along an external file for twenty years appeal to every court decision
up to the Supreme Court it was decided you know twenty years after the fact
that
they would pay 10 cents on the dollar for damages that's insane
at subsea any and they destroyed people's lives yeah and they still
oh the state of Alaska 92 million dollars
in settlements but the governor that we have now
was far worse than Sarah Palin ever wife I shall pronounce the former
ConocoPhillips lobbyist and exxon attorney
coach and he hasn't she has been infested that I'm
that exxon pay up to 92 million so what's the state
love love the Alaska coastline now well you know alaska's more coastline and the
rest the United States combined
right cell with the area where the Exxon Valdez area where it happened
and they like to say that it's you know it's Christine but you know you can see
BP is running out saying that
you know it's never been better in the Gulf I'm
it but you know I will I went there for the BBC
on assignment am a couple years ago and I took a shovel out and
to night island I which isn't and I was just devastated in
arm and I thought I would have to get down
but my Prince just held up with oil sheen
with an 62nd self walking across so it's them
you know the marsh their control a sprocket still very much there
and down and and it's just it's not going to go away
me in you can clean up the oil stuff what
in and it's even worse in the north where biological stuff happens more
slowly than a
then a warm environment like the golf I agree
but a soul so where do you go from here Shannon we're talking to Shannon Moore
by the way
the commentator blogger the host at the TV show
more up north their website Shannon Moore SH A N NY and em all
are deduct com and her twitter is
at Shannon as Hany and m.o.r.e
on what where does all where'd ya go from here
well you know interesting mean at this point
I think what when when the BP Gulf disaster happened it was
good at it such an insult to injury for so many alaskans should just and drug
trade oil here
which is that nobody's learned any lessons that they should have
you know he just figured out how to screw people over better than excited
and Alaska
and you know the oil spill cleanup
is the exact same technology as a wedge in 1989
and you look at you know I just to read an article about
about this for experience in you know I look at in 1989 I had an
seán Mac plaster we'd like 15 pounds and lets
black and white male and now i cant iPhone I'm talking to you on
and that technology has been just like insanely
incredible fired we switched to look at this stupid
diapers and films and they just get out there and pushed around in a spray
also to chemicals that really really physically
hurt people there and the average life expectancy for someone at work time
Jackson County still 51 and
well seizes and its so crippling I'm
where to holes in your brain I'm
you know it basically disperse issue brain matter so this should be a lesson
for people down in the Gulf of Mexico to
rate and %uh you know the longer the wait to get
settlement they don't even know what their kodiak because the damages
I think are so long range in price longer it goes the more despair that
happens the more suicide
happen freq suicide in the coffin
worth it same percentage a call
people you chillin cultural frustration boiled
now he would as the last you would be looking at porn chi-town
people on
this is a bad school Shannon Moore you can read all about it over the website
