This is nothing.

Nothing if you don't live here. Nothing if you don't depend on the estuaries and coastal marshes for your livelihood or for storm protection.

the oil spill is a lousy 500,000 barrels (even including the next 90 days)

Let's hope not; that would be the equivalent of 2 Valdez oil spills.

The Valdez oil spill was 11 MILLION.!!!!

Gallons, not barrels. Your math is off by a factor of 42.

Thanks Romulus.

Rogertarp, don't be an idiot. I am an enviro-whacko's worst enemy, but I consider myself a good steward, and friend of industry. To cheer death and destruction coming is nothing to cheer about. Pray that industry can get this under control as soon as possible, and that it perhaps burning the spill may work. Doesn't look good right now.

I am just sick. Our seafood industry will tank, we most likely won’t be having seafood boils any time soon and the bayou culture will certainly suffer. Praying for miracles for Louisiana and America.
