AMERICA - The Lingering Effects of the Gulf Oil Spill

"Gulf Still Grapples With Massive BP Oil Leak 2 Years Later"
PBS Newshour 4/20/2012


COMMENT: As stated in the video it IS very hard to evaluate the lingering effects of the spill because we do not have baseline information to compare to.

This is especially since drilling at the depth of Deapwater Horizon is not been fully evaluated as of yet. This is just one of the problems with deep-water drilling in general, it is too new. BP and other drilling companies and affiliates are going ahead WITHOUT conscientious evaluation of what SHOULD be considered, as if deep-water drilling = shallow-water drilling. This also includes our own government when giving licenses for deep-water drilling, which they are TRYING to address as of now.
