BP's Oil Leak A Permanent Game Changer?
It's beginning to appear that the southern states of LA, MS, AL are going to be fucked for a long long time.... but what does the future hold?
What happens when this oil is dragged by the currents and storms down through the Florida Keys and takes out the Miami beaches? Florida is a key election state. This could change everything. If florida's beaches are fouled for generations, Florida's tourism goes with it and Florida all but dies. What happens to New Orleans when the wetlands are destroyed? Are we witnessing the end of some of our major coastal areas? The people already out of business (fisherman, shrimpers, etc...) are now working for BP, using their boats to help clean up efforts, but now they are getting sick... people have been admitted to the hospital for poisoning from exposure to all the oil and their boats are deteriorating. And they have not been paid by BP, but fear speaking up about it. I think at this point we can safely say, this oil leak is going to change things forever. The question is... to what degree? And we really need to stop giving speaking platforms to idiots like Sarah Palin. Even the news channels are straight up calling her an idiot now, on the air. No more dancing around it or giving her the benefit of the doubt.... she is retarded. Plain & simple. I'm very interested in how they expect to clean this up. I don't see it happening. If it fouls the wetlands, those are done, and probably New Orleans along with them. They can't be 'cleaned' with high pressure hoses like they attempted with Valdez. We are spectators to what is quickly becoming a global event. Once the hurricanes start coming in, all bets are off. What will happen to the rest of the Caribbean? Cuba, Jamaica, Cancun,.... many, many islands..... Makes me fucking sick.  2010: The year we poisoned the Gulf of Mexico. Drill baby, drill.

i cant even begin to describe how its already affected our area man. beaches I played on growing up, covered in oil, wetlands I grew up fishing in, covered in oil. disperants already affecting food local people getting sick, tons of my friends and family havent worked since it happened... its a nightmare. volunteers under gag orders cant even discuss the effects the oil and disperants are having on them. Just like in 9/11 clean up crews and rescue workers,...

Saw a report yesterday where they found a beached dolphin with oil coming out of its mouth. Almost threw up thinking about it. Shit is fucked up.

I don't even know what to say anymore about it.
How is is going to affect the natural flow of water when the current drag it through the globe. This could alter them forever as well. Can we say ice age anyone? |

Most of Florida's tourism monies come from Central Florida I believe... although I'm sure it would still be catastrophic... I foresee a state income tax in Florida's future if the beaches get destroyed...
I, personally, would love to see the $0.08 per barrel tax go away and oil companies becomes 100% liable for ALL damages... That would make them put many safety measures in place as the risk would be too great... as it stands the risk is only for initial clean up + $75M... Chump change.

They said last night on the news that the oil is 9 miles from Florida's coast now. (well, last night, who knows where it is now). I really don't see how they can stop it. They might hold it off for a while... but it's coming.
and then there's Texas' coast too to think about.

Newsflash for the slow people: Palin is backed by the same exact elites that Obama is backed by. They have all been groomed for these positions. They are puppets. Got it? Good.

i have a very hard time getting on board with the *game changed forever* mentality.
fact is, this is a blip on mother nature's radar, she'll survive just fine. humans, well, we are still continuing to dig our own grave as we stare slack jawed at the oil spill. |

I think Republicans will be re-thinking using the catch line.. "drill baby drill" in the near future.
Let us remember that off shore drilling off Florida's coast has been pushed like crazy by many Republicans and Florida residents have been fighting against it for over 10 years. Too bad other states didn't do the same or we wouldn't have this mess. BTW you think it's only Florida and the southern US at risk, but if that oil gets into the Atlantic it's the entire eastern cost of the US as well as many more countries at risk. |

Hey, I've no idea, but what I read sounded logical and had the backing of science buffs... However, if the first one comes in from the west, all bets are off cos all that shit lurking just offshore is gonna hit the coast with a big storm surge and not have time to disperse.

I think the big question is, will this change the way people live, because the only way we stop off shore drilling is if people start to change their way of life...and as horrific as this is, I just don't see it happening.

Now the 'experts' are speculating this oil could be pumping out until Christmas.
If that happens... there is no telling what kind of Hell it's going to look like down there. They (BP and the clean up / capping efforts) can't work out there during storms. So if a storm starts brewing, they will pull everyone in, and we just get to sit and watch the destruction continue.

He'd painted the semi-style exhaust stacks behind his cab to look like giant cigarettes!!! Last week when the first real heat hit I walked by a Ford Excursion in the parking lot of a grocery store. The guy had left it running with no one in it, so he could run the AC while he shopped! Fuck you earth! You're our bitch! Take it!

When I looked at a current map last week the oil should spread all the way up the east coast of America then cross over to Europe and down the west of France and Spain. Obviously the further it goes the less mess it will make as it gets diluted by the water but it's still going to make a mess quite some distance from the actual source.

It was mentioned that Super-tankers can work to clean the water and reclaim something like 85% of the oil. While it won't stop the flow going on, it would help to perhaps contain the spread until they can cap it.
BP is not doing this because of the cost involved. What I don't understand is why they are not FORCED to do this.
