This spill will result in the death of the tidal wetlands of whatever parts of the Gulf Coast are contaminated. Remember they are still cleaning up from the Valdez incident in Alaska (you know, "selly outie Sara's" state) and Exxon has dodged the bill and actually is still keeping litigation out of court. So how is BP with its miserly, antiquated methods and equipment going to clean up such delicate marshlands?
The cold truth is, this spill is going to change the course of history, severly damage the planetary ecology, and hasten the demise of mankind, all in the name of MAKING A BUCK!!!
The hurricanes this year will send the oil globally which will seal the fate of the oceans. Hope you don't like to eat fish because they're all going to be gone.
