The oil spill has entered its seventh week, dousing the Gulf with oil and causing disruptions with local and national governments. Our president does not have answers to the many news agencies concerning the oil spill and BP representatives are still optimistic in the future of the spill. BP has been looking out to the public to find answers to this disaster and once hurricane season starts, there could be major problems. The hurricanes could push the oil filled water into marshlands and destruct the already battered Gulf Coast. Hurricane Katrina destroyed the Coast and the efforts to repair all of the land is still underway. Another Category 5 hurricane would destroy wildlife and dampen the relief efforts that are currently in process.
The use of solar energy has not been opened up because the oil industry does not own the sun. ~Ralph Nader, quoted in Linda Botts, ed., Loose Talk, 1980
