Jeez Louise the New Orleans area has taken a shitkicking this past decade. Hurricane after hurricane culminating with Katrina, and now this, this black diahrea bubbling up from hell's bowels. This BP company is going to pay but whatever, the damage is done and the fallout from this disaster will have lasting environmental repurcutions spanning... who knows how long?
As to the "we are all to blame" argument, I can only speak for myself. I cut my need for petroleum products by a large margine many years ago. Since working from home I don't need to drive the car all that much. My house is heated with natural gas, not oil. The day a line of decent electric or hydrogen fuel cell cars becomes available I'm buying one on the spot.
I wish to hell N America would get off the oil teet and put far more money and effort into developing the clean/natural power sources, wind, solar, etc. If the world keeps on the way it's going with the oil oil oil shit it will very likely be the thing that causes WW III.
