Off shore oil drilling: FAIL
02 May 10 | Conservation, EnvironmentI am sure that almost everyone is keeping track of the Deepwater Horizon disaster as it unfolds. This has vast implications, from the almost incalculable environmental damage to the inevitable increase in oil prices both short and long term.
It really makes me angry when I think about how much effort was put into offshore drilling safety and technology and yet, this spill is about to eclipse the Exxon Valdez disaster of 1989. When will we learn? Where are all the “Drill, baby drill!” advocates now?
Lets get serious about ending the fossil fuel addiction before it kills us.

I think the best way to discourage offshore drilling is to stop buying oil products. I know this a lot to ask of a country addicted to oil and I know it’s difficult to make a transition when you have to worry about the rent or the morgage payments
BUT
Now might be a good time to be thinking about your next house nestled into the south side of a hill far from the big cities.

What can we do really. Here is the real problem. We have such a high demand for oil they can not stop looking for new oil discoveries. We are just as much to blam as the ones responsible for the drilling disaster. If our governments would force the car manufactures to start producing hydrogen cars at a reasonable rate to which everyone coud own one we would have far less incidence of oil spills. Since our need for oil would dramatically decrease. We need to start thinking about it as it is not pointing the fingers at the company responsible. For we are all responsible. Are you not going to drive your vehicle for a month. No one stopped driving when gas prices skyrocketed last year or the year before. There for we need to find a new way to power our vehicles instead of uses OIL and OIL only
