I've tried to avoid reading more stories about it, but it is one of those things that lingers at the edges of my mind.
To say that BP is going to pay for it all is laughable. They may indeed end up paying for the actual cleanup effort. But that is to say nothing of all the economic fallout, and the environmental repercussions that will last for decades, if not more.
I am against offshore drilling. There is only so much our planet can take. There is no reason that with our technology and the collective intelligence that we are not further along in developing alternative fuel sources.
Oh, wait, yes, there is a reason. It's called money for the oil companies.
There is a boy...well, young man now...from my tiny little town. He graduated high school with my oldest son, so that would put him around 22. He is bright, and has already been on that Shark Tank show and got funding for another venture. But the one I am referring to now takes sunflowers and coverts their oil to biodiesel fuel, with the remaining 'shucks' turned into livestock feed.
Breaking our dependence on oil...not just foreign oil...is essential to the welfare of our planet.
And now you may feel free to call me a tree hugging, hippie liberal. :D
