And American and European scientists are planning to follow suit. A story about it is on NPR.org. What kind of impact could 14,000 gallons of kerosene have on the environment there, what kind of clean up do they have in mind? I'd like to know more about this and I think others would, too. Thank you for your time. Jane Walsh Dear Ms. Kelly,
