Unlike the Exxon oil tank spill w heavy crude (oil floating on top of the water), this oil is flowing from a mile down under the water's surface. The whole food chain including oceanic vegetation & phytoplankton are effected by the toxic oil. I do understand that this is a major disaster & a large percentage of all seafood came from this region. <br />When you add this to all other man made messes, it exponentially ruins the planet. <br />I've never supported offshore drilling.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-83813500110504883772010-05-03T04:53:56.673-07:002010-05-03T04:53:56.673-07:00Please read this.

Do you know the level of effort it will take to move that wrecked oil rig, sitting under 5,000 feet of water? That operation alone would take years and hundreds of millions to accomplish. Then, how do you cap that hole in the muddy ocean floor? There just is no way. No way.<br /><br />The only piece of human technology that might address this is a nuclear bomb. I’m not kidding. If they put a nuke down there in the right spot it might seal up the hole. Nothing short of that will work.<br /><br />If we can’t cap that hole that oil is going to destroy the oceans of the world. It only takes one quart of motor oil to make 250,000 gallons of ocean water toxic to wildlife. Are you starting to get the magnitude of this?Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15788931352232874850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-61514740009234825332010-05-02T15:28:02.429-07:002010-05-02T15:28:02.429-07:00How about that Haliburton press release
