LA sees heavy oil

[Ravi]

Calling it a "day that we have all been fearing," Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal said on Wednesday that heavy oil -- not simply tar balls or sheen -- had entered the state's prized wetlands.
"It's already here but we know more is coming," he said.
The marshes are the nurseries for shrimp, oysters, crabs and fish that make Louisiana the leading producer of commercial seafood in the continental United States. A large no-fishing zone in Gulf waters seen as affected by the spill has been imposed.

I didn't see that...damn.

Supposedly for at least the next ten years anything caught in the Gulf sea food wise will have to be inspected for contamination.

Not panicking is good...I imagine if Dubya were still president he would have invaded Great Britain by now.

Giant Plumes of Oil Found Under Gulf of Mexico - NYTimes.com

“There’s a shocking amount of oil in the deep water, relative to what you see in the surface water,” said Samantha Joye, a researcher at the University of Georgia who is involved in one of the first scientific missions to gather details about what is happening in the gulf. “There’s a tremendous amount of oil in multiple layers, three or four or five layers deep in the water column.”

The plumes are depleting the oxygen dissolved in the gulf, worrying scientists, who fear that the oxygen level could eventually fall so low as to kill off much of the sea life near the plumes.

Peaceful protest anyway.

I heard on Morning Joe today that Kevin Costner has a contraption that can get 250,000 gallons of oil out of the water per day. Strange but true.

Although people would sleep a little easier if they could just get that gusher plugged.

You should see the gulf after an asteroid hit it. And we didn't even MAKE the asteroid ! Imagine that !

LA sees heavy oil

Did the oil travel all the way around Cape Horn, or did it pass through the canal?

Woohoo!!! Disaster is finally here after weeks of hoping and praying for it. Y'all must be so relieved........

(Zandernews) 5/20/2010 New Orleans
Oil has reached the shores of LA and many environmental activists are celebrating. Yes, they are actually happy. Joe Lovebird, an environmental activist who is wearing hemp clothing and a pair of Birkenstocks with white socks and shorts said, "It's about time something like this happened!! We have been praying to GAIA that the oil causes an ecological disaster. We need to stop all drilling for oil everywhere. We can use wind power (farts and burps) to power everything we need."

Sadly, he and others like him are hoping for a massive disaster for purely political gain. "I have been hoping something like this happened for years" said Mr Lovebird, "Big Oil is raping our planet man. This will stop it all. We're gonna win now." Mr Lovebird was taken away in restraints shortly afterward, but the sentiment is rampant amongst environmental weirdos.
