Use the paragraph to answer the question.
It happens way too often: oil leaking from wells beneath the ocean or tankers spilling their cargo into the waves. One disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, called the Tyler spill, has been leaking hundreds of barrels of oil per day into the ocean for the past 14 years. While safety has not been made a priority, something can be done to clean up oil spills that does not involve pouring chemical cleanup agents into the already polluted waters. The question is, when will the oil industry embrace this effective, safe method?

A bar graph is drawn with an x-axis ranging from 0 to 10 in one-unit increments. The y-axis has one increment labeled as 0.1. The outline of a column is drawn on the bar graph from 0 to 5 on the x-axis with a height of 0.1. A solid column is drawn from 5 to 10 with a height of 0.1. The x-axis extends a short distance leftward and is labeled with a second 0. A vertical line extends upward and passes through the y-axis value of 0.1.
