1. I like it - you did a good job.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

Just an FYI, they now say that the broken rig is leaking 5 times the amount of oil into the Gulf. Not 1000 barrels a day but 5000 barrels or 210,000 gallons of oil and not the 42,000 referenced in your video.

2. Even before the oil spill

Thanks to the oil refineries, parts of the coast of Louisiana that border the Gulf of Mexico are so toxic that they are known as cancer alley - :cry:

Thanks Zoroastor for reminding us of our stupidity in such an artistic way!:hi:

8. Drill Baby, Drill!

I have worked in the Oil industry all my life and know what "Drill Baby, Drill!" was going to do to the Ocean. We have NEVER found a way to get oil to the surface without making a mess. That is compounded by the riggs being in the Ocean. Even when a rig is called a environmental success, it still pollutes the environment.
So "Drill Baby, Drill!" its just a dumb fucking slogan from a dumb fucking bitch!
I hope McCain is happy fore digging this bitch out from under that rock in Alaska...
Moron!!!

10. And 20 years ago...

...their argument might hold some credibility, but not now. Not with all the viable alternatives waiting in the wings for funding.
