Oil spill continues to grow

Twelve days later, the oil spill is now the size of Puerto Rico, with over 200,000 gallons more coming in a day.

I smell some lawsuits.

Nobody worry, humans are incapable of harming the environment.

Definately. Mother nature is hurting herself!

DRILL BABY DRILL!

The tourism industry is already being affected in the Florida panhandle. They're making early layoffs in some of the food and merchandise industries.

You're being sarcastic, I hope.

Odd how Obama is putting all the blame on BP. The oil rig was Swiss manned by an a US company so how was all this BP´s fault?

Ultimate corporate responsibility. It was also BP's own safety analysis that said there was virtually no risk of an environmental issue.

Obama said the same thing regarding offshore drilling overall about 2 weeks prior to this incident, as he signed in legislature to open up the US to more offshore drilling.

Great example of foot-in-mouth.

Doh!

There´s always a risk when drilling holes for oil a these depths I suppose. I see Arny has said he won´t be supporting any offshore drilling in California any more, I wonder if he´ll go through with it after all money talks.

And it smells like crude oil.

Our children's children will look back on this and wonder why we used fossil fuels when the sun provided so much absurd amounts of energy.

Maybe.

But I do.

Surely you thought about some of the silly things people did the in the 40s and 50s? Or just the dumb things...

kinda! mostly i just write it off as human stupidity though ermm

I also understand that BP actively lobbied against tighter safety legislation on the grounds that the risk was minimal...

They're paying a number of states a lot of money in order to minimize the damage.
