I cringe every time I see a picture, a news clip, or this live video stream of the BP oil spill. I simply cannot believe that BP and the other companies involved did not have a solid plan for this type of disaster. If these corporations were unable to come up with something definite in order to prevent a spill back in the “what if” stage of this entire venture, then they never should have considered drilling at this level. You can’t pretend that things never go wrong. Especially when an entire planet is involved. My planet. Your planet. Our only planet.
Today began another attempt to curb the spill, and I am anxiously awaiting the results of this one. I can only hope the results will be positive and successful for once. I am floored, flabbergasted, sad, worried. I don’t really think there are words for this situation. I wonder what the long term effects will be? Scary.
