Day 60 I believe – of the oil disaster…kind of beyond “spill” stage don’t you think?

I posted this last on May 19th. The number of gallons spilled then was 6.7 million.

Here are the current numbers:

From the National Wildlife Federation, “…an oil slick nearly 100 miles long…”

I first posted this Greenpeace oil spill widget on May 6th. The number of gallons spilled by then was 3.7 million…

Look at it now…less than two weeks later:

You can say what you want about oil and drilling for it. And “landlocked” politicians can complain that they won’t get the same piece of the pie as coastal states, but I think the true story of drilling is simply shown in the numbers…and animals killed, and businesses – put out of business – just as they were after the Exxon Valdez spill.

There is not enough “regulation” for this industry’s ability to destroy the environment – even if they would bother to follow them.

Another unrecoverable environmental disaster…thanks BP…
