US of Oil?
I do believe other countries rely on the evils of oil as well.
Anyhow I heard today they are making addittional progress and are lowering a 4 story tall 'containment tower' over the spill site. The catch is that it is nearly a mile down and will take a couple of days to get the tower lowered and placed.
Evidently this thing is custom built, shipped out to LA and barged out to the site. Set up on a crane and started lowering in what a week? I couldent help but think to my self... some one some where is working their asses off
The first bits of oil are now starting to wash ashore. A city here in the pan handle is going to spread chopped hay to try to intercept the 'sheen' before the beach sand does.
The first images of oil soaked animals which met an untimley demise are beginning to appear.
As bad and horrible all that is I am still taken back to the statement of "The reason you havent seen coastal contamination yet is because they have done a good job at containing it at sea".
I am convinced that the hell and devistation being touted in the media is overblown. Yea I know go figure.
So someone is out there working their asses of and to me THEY are the heros here
politics, other than posturing, has little to do with it.
