The main problem is: This spill would be a desaster no matter what. But these days, it is hitting ecosystems that are ALREADY strained.<br />And the worst effects will quiet possibly only surface after quiet a long time. We will see dead fish and birds, quiet possibly also dolphins and whales, anf outrage obver birds will possibly be worde than over fish, and outraqge over whales and dolphins will be worse than ober the birds. But the oil is quiet certainly killing and/or poisoning EVERYTHING it meets: algaa, bacteria, basically the lowest parts of the foodchain.<br />And while gulf and the oceans might have been be able to ride out "just" the spill, I doubt the most strained species, overfished, already weakened by poisons, already low in numbers, can nessecarily take this additional attack.<br />Unfortiunately, with the oil already out, we can do nothing more than try to ride it out and limit the damage we can actually find... and hope that something we couldn't even see or predict will not pop up and zeach us a lesson about complex systems like the oceans.<br />I am actuially not someone who is sure we have killed the gulf-region, but I am sure we have very definitely damaged it seriously, and if and when it finds a new balance, I am absolutely certainy it will be a balance that will not be good for humans living there.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15532812325865210107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-64040751795813245142010-05-20T01:12:30.759-04:002010-05-20T01:12:30.759-04:00I currently live in an oil town (Exxon/Mobil start...I currently live in an oil town (Exxon/Mobil started here).<br />BP will not get away with this scot-free - there is too much anti-Big Oil hostility out there.<br />The floods in Tennessee helped to keep the oil from land for a while but that effect is wearing off.<br />Oil naturally leaks from the bottom of the Gulf but not on the scale seen from these pumps.<br /><br />The financial effect of tighter drilling codes will slow drilling off our shores.<br />It is in the best interest of the oil industry to solve this problem with the least amount of damage possible.<br />Bank failures, medical recalls, defence spending and now this.<br />By now most people should be able to see that Washington is run by those (and for those) corporations with the most money and their Machiavellian aproach to their retention of power.uglyblackjohnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14404995571276457138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6325219138869173743.post-39279854227211114312010-05-19T22:54:29.137-04:002010-05-19T22:54:29.137-04:00African Sun, My old sociology professor believed t...<b>African Sun</b>, My old sociology professor believed that if the US ever dissolved, the corporations would not, and remain in control.

My mom even wanted to get one, but there weren't any places to recharge them, and she lived right smack in DC - a major city and perfect for them. It's like gas stations were barred from having them. So yeah, the electric car died from intentional neglect here in the US. <br /><br />Brazil began using Flex Fuel Cars, I think around five years ago, which are hybrids that use much cheaper and cleaner ethanol; they're leading the way. I wish the major language was English b/c I'd seriously thinking about moving there for a lot of reasons. <br /><br />Meanwhile I'm listening to the film as I type this. Amazing, those electric cars, clean, sexy and fast. And killed in the cradle.

Oil is like crack to the U.S. economy - we'll forever be sucking on somebodies glass dick whether it's in our coastal waters, the Middle East, Venezuela, or Africa.<br /><br />A very good film that illustrates this is called "Who Killed The Electric Car". Do check it out whenever you can. You'll understand how and why these clowns do what they do. An indigenous tribe in South America has been fighting Chevron for years for dumping the toxic shit or spoils of their work into their water that has them all fucked up.
