Gulf Oil Spill Could Eclipse Exxon Valdez Disaster‎.

MOXNews.com April 29, 2010 News Corp.

What a fine mess we’re seeing develop in the Gulf. Is this a different version of Bush Katrina for Louisiana except its called Obama Oil? Wouldn’t fate have it so that Obama finally breaks his past an opts for being a supporter of drilling off shore and along comes a blow-out that could have consequences far beyond anything we now imagine not to mention the fact that this story isn’t going away soon.  

The oil leak triggered by a deadly rig blast off the coast of Louisiana has the potential to cause more environmental damage than the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill, one of the largest ecological disasters ever recorded, some observers say. “As it is now, it’s already looking like this could be the worst oil spill since the Valdez,” John Hocevar, oceans campaign director for Greenpeace USA.

He goes on to say, “It’s quite possible this will end up being worse than the Valdez in terms of environmental impact since it seems like BP will be unable to cap the spill for months. In terms of total quantity of oil released, it seems this will probably fall short of Exxon Valdez. But because of the habitat, the environmental impact will be worse.”

The spill was bigger than imagined — five times more than first estimated — and closer. Faint fingers of oily sheen were reaching the Mississippi River delta, lapping the Louisiana shoreline in long, thin lines.  “It is of grave concern,” David Kennedy of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, told The Associated Press. “I am frightened. This is a very, very big thing. And the efforts that are going to be required to do anything about it, especially if it continues on, are just mind-boggling.”

The oil slick could become the nation’s worst environmental disaster in decades, threatening to eclipse even the Exxon Valdez in scope. It imperils 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. I imagine that the Obama politicos are huddling today to figure out how to SPIN this to their advantage; however, my “knower” says this can’t be used for political gain no matter how one spins it.
