oil spill

"Concern is rising that the oil could kill wildlife and damage livelihoods for thousands in the Gulf states. Parish and state officials in Louisiana have enacted plans to keep the oil out of the marshes at the heart of the state's fishing industry and wildlife habitat.
"If it gets back into the backwaters, into the bayous, that's where we'll kill off the food chain," Nungesser told reporters. "That's where it will devastate southern Louisiana for years to come, and we will lose our heritage in the fishing industry."
At least two oil-covered birds, one of them a brown pelican, have been found offshore, the National Wildlife Federation reported Tuesday. In addition, the conservation group reported finding a loggerhead turtle -- a threatened species -- gasping for air in the oil slick about 65 miles off the mouth of the Mississippi River."

i'm not sure if BP understands the urgency of the situation. these environments are intricate and are highly susceptible to destruction. every living thing on earth is part of a natural system that is interconnected in very complex ways. the damage or absence of one link can destroy food and habitats for these delicate organisms.

'cmon BP, pick up the effin pace. i know you're trying to save face but there are more important things at hand. eff oil. wind and solar power!!!
