Obama approves new offshore drilling a couple weeks ago. http://ipsnews.net/news.asp?idnews=50877 And then this disaster happens: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100428/ap_on_bi_ge/us_louisiana_oil_rig_explosion People don't realize what a problem this accident is going to turn into. .
I just love how there will be little damage to the enviorment..... They say timing is everything. Obama, in my belief, is correct in increasing offshore drilling and as far as the environment goes that is always going to be a hot potato when it comes to drilling. It does not matter what measures are taken to try to ensure that minimal damages occur, the nature of drilling means they will.
I am sorry to hear that. It is a dangerous job and when things go wrong they usually go really wrong.
Apparently all of the 11 missing are dead. I don't remember hearing anything about any of them being found. .
Cape Wind is an alternative type of endeavor. That project has its stiff opposition. It did get federal approval recently. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-cape-wind-20100429,0,7217072.story .
At first they said there wasn't any spill. Then they said there was a spill and tried to set it on fire before it could do more damage. Now a state of emergency has been declared. http://m.cnn.com/primary/_OEgINn-iGxc5FEujR .
