Drill baby drill. Sounds like the disaster was more of a minor natural event. Oil leaked just a little faster and the bottom of the food chain multiplied as it ate it. Guess that means it was a kind of fertilizer that also didn’t overdo it and consume all the oxygen. So we can expect it to expand the whole food chain for a while.

Anyone who did a little reading would have realized this was the likely outcome. The same thing happened with the IXTOC I in 1979. Gulf spills are completely different than the Exxon Valdez because the gulf has a much more robust eco system due to warmer temps, being farther from land, etc. Exxon Valdez dumped near islands in shallow, frigid water.

Of course this good news will not cause the idiot in the White House to let the hard working folks in the oil drilling business go back to work. he would rather vacation with his elite buddies and golf than allow the ‘little people’ to go back to work. November can’t come soon enough!
