The end result of the mindless “drill baby drill” mentality – that even Barack Obama has felt the need to placate – is now playing itself out of the Louisiana coast. But do Palin and her baying hordes, and the oil giants who pick up the tag for the propaganda, really care? Or is it the same as in the coal industry where workers lives and the degrading of the planet could for zip, and only profits are sacred? MSNBC reports…
“Officials had previously said the environmental damage appeared minimal, but new challenges have arisen now that the platform has sunk. The well could be spilling up to 336,000 gallons of crude oil a day, the Coast Guard said, and the rig carried 700,000 gallons of diesel fuel. Crude from the well had been burning off but when the rig sank earlier Thursday the fire was extinguished. What's not clear is if the crude is still spewing below the surface. Coast Guard Rear Adm. Mary Landry said crews saw a one mile by five mile sheen of what appeared to be a crude oil mix on the surface of the water.”
The secret word is Cormorant
And these same assholes want to build a whole new mess of nucler power plants.
