It's become obvious that this spill will be ongoing through hurricane season. The mediocre, slow paced, (like the Valdez incident), and low budget attempts by the highly profitable and environmentally irresponsible corporation, BP, will be unsuccessful. BP's main worry is Publicity more so that the actual clean up. The monetary limit of liability for BP is a pittance compared to the cost of the clean up. To add insult to injury, costs will rise due to the disruption of oil supplies, so BP will make even more money while entire ecosystems and livelihoods are wiped out. Oh yeah, remember, it wasn't really their fault anyway...right?? But they will be responsible for the GLOBAL damage done by this incident.
And gee, where' are all the Republicans with their 'drill drill drill' litany??? Are they truly going to try to do anything??? I think not. I mean it costs money to clean stuff up...Of course Pubs believe in killing most wildlife anyway, so I'm sure they won't be concerned.
