Unless my "search" button is broken, I can't find any threads about this oil spill.
Aren't there some Loungers here from the Gulf Coast area, besides myself?
This thing is going to be bad. Really bad.
I grew up in Pensacola, FL and have spent my whole life on these beaches. Pensacola, Gulf Shores, Navarre, Destin ... they are beautiful. And they have already suffered so much devastation over the years from hurricanes and now they have to endure THIS?
If this goes on long enough and the oil makes it's way into the Florida Keys, that will be the end of the natural coral reef habitat. What about the dolphins and fish and turtles and birds?
Environmental disaster aside, I can't even imagine what the economic impact is going to be.

would this have made a difference if he linked it from the US Dept of Interior's report about this incident?

They don't have to give $20billion to anyone, but they did.
They are only responsible for $75million towards the clean-up, but they are footing the entire bill.
Nobody has to hire lawyers and sit through years of trials, BP is taking care of them.
BP is doing everything the right way. What more do you people want from them?
Since the spill started I have filled up my tank (usually once a week) at BP stations every time except one and I will continue to do so as long as it is convenient.
Besides, my state's major industry is money. So good luck with stocking up on the foreign imports. Let me know how well those Euros work out for you down there.
If BP goes under guess who gets stuck paying for the cleanup and the damages? Taxpayers. I want BP to be making as much farking money as possible so they have no excuses not to pay.
Could it possibly be our brilliant and fearless leader?
Obama: My job is to get this fixed.... I take responsibility. It is my job to make sure that everything is done.

OB is korean beer....
The Gulf is farked for a long time to come, especially with the extreme amounts of methane that are present in this particular geyser (somewhere in the neighborhood of 40%, as opposed to 5%, which is the typical amount/percentage of methane in an oil deposit).

They figure putting a large wedding ring around it will almost certainly cause it to stop putting out.
