Thanks for your patience during our recent outage at scalar.usc.edu. While Scalar content is loading normally now, saving is still slow, and Scalar's 'additional metadata' features have been disabled, which may interfere with features like timelines and maps that depend on metadata. This also means that saving a page or media item will remove its additional metadata. If this occurs, you can use the 'All versions' link at the bottom of the page to restore the earlier version. We are continuing to troubleshoot, and will provide further updates as needed. Note that this only affects Scalar projects at scalar.usc.edu, and not those hosted elsewhere.

Environmental degradation is a big issue, and therefore, oil companies and their refineries must learn about the risks their products hold to the environment, especially with many refineries sitting so close to the coastlines and other environmental areas. Steve Christ, a graduate of Towson University and current expert in the housing market, brings forward the aspect of the true cost of oil and gas products in his article, “Oil Price Fantasy: The True Cost of Crude.” Christ’s article had me asking the question: how important is the relationship between petroleum and society? Is it important enough to risk the potential destruction of the land on which we live? We only have one earth on which we live. A disaster could spell out big trouble for the environment if an oil or wastewater spill were to occur. Both of these types of spills can have major detrimental effects on the environment, which is why prevention is very important.
