Hurricanes Come And Go, Black Ooze Is Here To Stay
Florida environmental and emergency managers acknowledged Saturday that the state can’t protect every stretch of coastline threatened by an uncontrolled undersea gusher spewing a massive oil slick that has spread across the Gulf of Mexico faster than expected.
Governor Charlie Crist, who traveled to the Panhandle to inspect preparations, warned the state could be facing an economic and environmental catastrophe.
“It’s simply unbelievable, the magnitude of this,” said Crist of a looming mess that has more than tripled in size since he surveyed it earlier in the week and is now larger than Miami-Dade and Broward counties. “It’s not a spill, it’s a continuous ooze.”

This is a environmental disaster of immense proportions and will unfortunately change several things permanently. The magnitude of this is hard to imagine…
The big question is…Will any of this change the way that drilling, especially offshore drilling, is allowed to operate?
As I had mentioned before, reliance on technology for safety is a accident waiting to happen. If the fundamental process is a beast that is trying to get out of confinement, it eventually will.
Jess is right on about the future of Green energy such as Wind, Solar, etc. I know some people downplay it’s role but it can be a alternative. The technology is already here.
Until we embrace that idea, desperately searching for that oil fix is going to ruin this Mother Earth.
They need to get off the oil and get into solar and wind yesterday. Ever heard of a wind farm disaster other than smells down wind of a dairy farm? Nope you never have, probably never will. Gotta get onto the green energy and quickly or this will not be the last disaster we will be talking about. It is now apparently the size of Puerto Rico and getting bigger. I feel so bad for all of you who live in the areas this is going to affect. Having just lived through the horror that was Katrina a few years ago and now this.
“It is truly like R’lyeh has opened up and released a horde of shoggoths into our world”
I give up….
America and England….two lands seperated by a common language…
There are meetings being held right now which are to decide “whose fault” it is. Don’t think there’s too much blame to go around, should be able to nail it on BP and Haliburton.
I am less than a half a mile from my favorite meditation spot, the shoreline. Two blocks over is the inland ditch, the intercoastal waterway ….ALL OF WHICH ARE ABOUT TO BE RUINED. I’m so upset, so ‘what can I do’… I know I’ll be over at the seawall or the beach to help with clean up… but my wonder is, will it become a rest of my life past-time now?
I am watching mighty hard, all politicians and how they act or do not about environment … I voted for Obama because of his positive UNDELIVERED message on it, to begin with. Will the world respond to this will a new awareness of the true peril our planet is in?
Looking at Sunday news…
THE WHOLE FRIGGING WORLD IS IN CRISIS IN SOME DEGREE. And America is double tapped.
It is truly like R’lyeh has opened up and released a horde of shoggoths into our world. Only Lovecraft could come up with a worse nightmare.
Excellent example indeed. This disaster will be a horror only Lovecraft could have dreamed up. CBS Sunday Morning closed with a one minute video of the one of the Louisiana wildlife refuges that are certain to be inundated. It broke my heart knowing that those hundreds of thousands of birds will be lost.
They say they are trying to prioritize protecting the wildlife refuge area over others, but I am still seeing the horrors of the Valdez spill and remembering all the volunteers washing the gunk off of the poor birds. It truly makes me sick to my stomach.
I still don’t understand why the MSM isn’t talking non-stop about this. Even a Tea-Bagger could see that this is shaping up to be the most devastating ecological disaster in the history of the nation, if not the world. I am so stressed about it I’m not sleeping well and I don’t even live in the affected area, although I’m just two hours away. Can you imagine the beaches of Pensacola painted black?
