This entire issue is very disastrous for the environmental life and with the economy in a number of different points. This issue should have been baffled however everyone once in a while these accidents occur. The company should be held accountable for this new spill.

I can’t believe these people at BP. They have got to be the worst, irreponsible people on earth the way they are dealing with this oil spill.

First the first Gulf oil spill, now we see that the second one has blown up in Louisiana. I sure hope that this doesn’t mean more environmental destruction. On the other hand, this country needs this domestic energy. This such a complicated scenario to figure out. I’m not sure what the solution is.
