Oil Spill 2010: What’s at Stake for the Environment?
May 1st 2010 NBCs Mark Potter reports on the environmental impact the oil spill will have in the Gulf Coast. Oil slick emergency spreads to Florida Sat May 1 2010- itn.co.uk A state of emergency has been declared in Florida’s coastal counties because of the threat from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. The spill that threatens to become America’s worst environmental disaster in decades, spread out of control and started washing ashore along the Gulf Coast on Thursday night. The oil slick is threatening hundreds of species of fish, birds and other wildlife along the Gulf Coast, one of the world’s richest seafood grounds, teeming with shrimp, oysters and other marine life. Louisiana declared a state of emergency on Thursday before the spill reached land. There are also fears the crisis will deepen in the region after the US Coast Guard reported that an inshore oil rig overturned near Morgan City, Louisiana. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said that domestic oil drilling remains an important part of US energy policy, but must be done responsibly. He said any future offshore tracts leased to companies to search for oil would be subject to better safety measures to prevent and control spills. Louisiana oil spill may be five times bigger than previously thought- www.telegraph.co.uk

Thanks for peppering the clouds and opening the damns up north,Tennessee is flooded, you said you were going to open the damns and you did.Are the British going to pay for this. I have not heard were BP is going to dump all this oil their skimming, maybe in Britain. Why are the British drilling here anyway, what loyalest to the Great Britain allowed this country to take over our oil, coal mines, and our banks. Didn’t they say they were going to take over the USA and not fire a shot. THEY HAVE !!
