I am sorry if this picture offends anyone, but the public should be allowed to see what BP has done to the Gulf Coast. This is a saltwater Dolphin that was caught in the water for an attempted rescue, but the oil already got too far into the body of the dolphin. This is truly the inconvenient truth for all Americans and people overseas. There will always be mistakes, but this is an absolute disaster. The endless attempts at capping the wellhead have failed and now it is time to start punishing those who made this go wrong. BP has been fined $69 million, but many critics are saying this is too little for the monstrous oil company. People say they should be fined this for everyday that oil is coming out of that wellhead into the ocean.
Ecologically speaking, a spilt tanker load is like sticking a safety pin into an elephant’s foot. The planet barely notices. After the Exxon Valdez accident in Alaska the oil company spent billions tidying up the coastline, but it was a waste of money because the waves were cleaning up faster than Exxon could. Environmentalists can never accept the planet’s ability to self-heal.
