Frustration Mounts As Oil Seeps Into Gulf Wetlands

Actually, by destroying the entire region ecologically, BP and all pro-drilling interested parties (politicians included) can and will argue that offshore drilling increase, "since it's all ruined anyway".



We've already seen Mary Landrieu make a pitch for more drilling the very day after this disaster began.



Has Obama shut down BP's other operations in US waters? Atlantis (potentially a worse nightmare than Deepwater Horizon) is still operating.



Has Obama revoked the drilling permits that were handed out AFTER Obama announced he was suspending new permits? No.



The only reason to use dispersant is for covering up the real extent of this disaster. To sink the oil, try to keep it off the coasts because if the People actually see it, that will be the end of offshore drilling. The dispersant is so toxic that Great Britain has banned its use. When the outcry got loud enough, Obama's EPA told BP to find another, less toxic dispersant. Not "Don't use any", but "find another". BP said, "Stuff it".



What will Obama do?



If Louisiana's industries are 1) oil, gas, chemicals, and 2) fishing and tourism, and fishing and tourism is destroyed, they're going to have to increase offshore drilling to make up the state's lost revenues.



Is it starting to make sense now?
