Oil Oil Everywhere

Oil is without any doubt destroying our environment. I never thought I would see the day when I could watch the damage develop right on my tv. Pelicans dying before my very eyes. Brown geysers squirting out at the bottom of the sea.

Some people say alternative energy is too expensive to be our main source of power. Billions of dollars will be spent on cleaning up this mess, billions we could spend on wind mills,solar panels and research into long lasting batteries and hydrogen fuel cells. BP will cover SOME of the cost, but they will only pay what we can quantify. What can actually be evaluated in dollars. We can't possibility know the entire cost in lost tax revenue from lost wages,loss of fish and seafood populations,lost tourism dollars,and health-care costs from breathing in bad air. BP will not pay what we "figure" they must owe.

You may think this is a freak accident,but mark my words,These "accidents" or negligent acts will keep happening,as long as off-shore drilling is this lucrative and this risky. It must be banned before it does any more harm.
