I thought this might interest people too. I had never heard of this natural oil leak.

I was glad to see Poseidon finally showed up. Now we'll see some action.

I'm from Alabama and I've been to Perdido and Gulf Shores and Pensacoloa Florida. Some of the most unspoiled and beautiful places left on eart. I can't bear to ride down to the gulf right now. I keep telling myself to just go down to my mothers in Pace, Fl (outiside Pensacoloa) but I know it will just piss me off more to see the gulf in that shape. I'm heart broken for Gulf Shores, Al and for the beauty of it. The people down there are a different and hearty group. I just hope Obama will see the true mess that has been made. This make me sick.
I can understand not wanting to go and see it first hand. It's just too upsetting. People should be informed and consulted about what is really going on and how it's being dealt with - not sidelined and ignored. It's not just BP, Haliburton and others are involved and it's hard not to believe that their No 1 concern is profit and shares. Has the 'leak' even been stopped yet? I don't think so...how bad is this going to get??

Has the leak stopped yet? NO. And it is an outrage. How bad will it get? Who knows. Did you know that there is an oil spill everyday at Coal Oil Point (COP), the natural leak seeps off Santa Barbara, where 20-25 tons of oil have leaked from the seafloor each day for the last several hundred thousand years.

Some may find this YouTube video interesting. Excuse the commercial at the very beginning of the tape. I don't have firsthand knowledge of this technology but it sounds like something the oil companies should have looked at carefully some time ago. Preventive, cutting edge technology would have constituted a mere fraction of the overall profits of BP and the other oil producers:
What is happening to the ocean and shoreline is an absolute tragedy. However, as a vegan, I also have to note the damage done to the environment -- as well as all the pain and suffering inflicted on other sentient beings -- by the cattle, pork, chicken and other meat and dairy industries in the U.S. and globally. I am not proselytizing, but this is something each of us can control.

We do not want to clean this mess up too quickly... There is a new energy/environmental bill that need to be shoved thru. This spill will replace the old photoshopped polar bear standing on an iceberg image.
BTW- vegans are not the only ones who care about pain and suffering of edible animals.
