As much as I want this away from gulf coast beaches, I don’t want to wish it on anyone else. I have heard, although I have no source at this time, that slicks have been spotted by satelite near north carolina and going arund cuba. And from the volcano there is only more, and more, and more...God, when will this end?
There’s more than enough oil in this deposit for a lot of us.
There is the possibility that the well never gets capped and the gushing torrent of oil creates huge swathes of dead zones as time, currents and storms swirl it all around.
This is shaping up to be one of those nightmare scenarios that are even hard to game contingency plans for, let alone deal with when you have criminials and nincompoops running things.
We had a couple of weeks to mount an all hands all out effort to stop the oil hitting the coast.
And we didn’t.
Been out of the loop. To which volcano do you refer? There have been a couple spouting lately. Or do you mean to use volcano as a metaphor for the underwater oil gusher?
