They won't let you on the mainland, even with a valid visa. They don't want you to see what the global oil companies have done (and are doing) to the environment.
I tried to go.
- dylan604 6y agoIs 'have done (and are doing)' not visible from overhead?
- SirSourdough 6y agoLots of details to be seen on the ground that can’t be seen or confidently established from satellite photography.
- dylan604 6y agoI understand that. I just assumed if it was BigOil behind the scenes that wells/refineries must be involved which are visible. What kinds of shenanigans are going on? I'm totally not up to speed on what is occurring there.
