All the more reason to get some real effort going at getting this nation off it's petroleum crack-habit.

Horrible oil slick is out of control. :smt086 Fishing paradise like Venice, LA and Chandeleur Islands are likely the first to be destroyed. :smt090 Then comes our turn. :smt076 :smt100

This could be one of the worst ecological disasters ever in the Gulf of Mexico... If nothing else happens, this should seal the fate of drilling off of the Florida coast.

Hey boggob, that's what I was referring to last night when I made the post. I knew it was coming, but wasn't sure if they were going to release that intel last night or today.
