There seems to be little progress in stopping the oil that is fouling the Gulf of Mexico. The well continues to flow. The oil now covers an area larger than five states on the east coast. The bureaucrats and Washington politicians keep making appearances and making promises but in fact little is happening.

This catastrophe has proven to every person who watches and thinks for themselves that offshore  drilling is not the way we need to solve our energy needs. BP has proven to the world they have no idea how to stop the flow of oil. No one else does either or they would’ve stepped up and done it. Until failsafe systems are invented and proven offshore drilling should stop. No more debate.

Spend the dollars to develop and supply green technology to the American public. Solar, wind and nuclear should replace the oil that comes from the Gulf.

The marshes of Louisiana are ruined, You can’t clean the oil out of them fast enough to save the plants, birds, and other life  forms that live and breed there.

So far the beaches of Florida have been spared. Will this last? Hopefully it will, but once again don’t bet on it.
