'There's a Gulf Oil Spill Happening Every Day Out There': New Book Reveals Oil Spills and Leaks Are More Ubiquitous Than Common Cold

HOUSTON, July 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Before he was an author, Fouad Khan was an environmental consultant for big oil. In his novel Katrina Nights (now available on Amazon), Fouad succinctly summarizes the one profound learning from his earlier career. "It's inevitable," he says, "an unavoidable consequence of oil industry operations ... where there's oil, it will leak."

Fouad talks of pristine aquifers that are being silently contaminated, entire communities drinking water polluted with carcinogens, underground water storage tanks blowing up from seeped hydrocarbon fumes from the surrounding contaminated soils: "This stuff happens." He says, "It is the unacknowledged nuclear waste of the fossil fuel industry and most people have no clue about it."

Fouad came to US from Pakistan on a Fulbright scholarship to study ways to use microorganisms in the cleanup of leaked oil. So did the protagonist of his novel. Unlike the author though, our hero fell under the distracting influence of an adventurous nymphomaniac, got involuntarily involved in a terrorist plot, chased Hurricane Katrina and ended up discovering a theory that predicts a nigh end for human civilization.

This theory is one of reasons the book's now getting noticed. Dr. Timothy Wilken of Synearth.net writes, "If Fouad is correct, and I believe that he is, then he has discovered the scientific basis for our present human crisis."
