This isn't just a bunch of oil sitting around on the surface waiting to be skimmed up. Its on the surface and near the ocean floor, and in the sand on the beaches and seeping into the marshlands and on and on. There aren't even real engineering propositions as to how you can catch all of the oil. This area will be a poisoned wasteland for at least the duration of our lives. | ||

I'm willing to bet we'll be hearing about this spill right into our old age. | ||

It's great that the leak is plugged, for now anyway, but the damage is done. FUCK BP and everyone who continues to say "drill baby drill!". | ||
