No Power. Environmental Disaster.

The Israeli bombing of the Jiyyeh power station in Lebanon has released approximately 30,000 tonnes of Oil into the Mediterranean, and created an oil slick which now covers about 80km of the Lebanese coast.

This is almost as much oil, as that which entered the water during the 1989 Exxon Valdez tanker incident in Alaska.
