Now, you have the oil headed to all sides of Florida and up the East coast as far as Maryland. http://wjz.com/local/oil.spill.gulf.2.1674925.html How's that "drilly, baby, drilly" thing working out for ya? :) The Obama Administration thinks its a good idea. By Marisa Taylor | McClatchy Newspapers WASHINGTON ? Since the Deepwater Horizon oil drilling rig exploded on April 20, the Obama administration has granted oil and gas companies at least 27 exemptions from doing in-depth environmental studies of oil exploration and production in the Gulf of Mexico. Read mohttp://www.mcclatchydc.com/2010/05/0...despite-spill- feds-still-giving.html#ixzz0nM9HKJie I'll give two contrasting examples. St George Island on the Florida coast has been nearly destroyed by tourism. Tacky row house type condos cover MY beach and the interior of the island is nothing but poorly built "homes" whose insurance I am forced to subsidize. The destruction to this barrier island is FOREVER (as long as people exist). By contrast, the Chandeleur Islands off LA which are being hit by the oil spill will recover in about 20 years. I'd prefer the oil spill, it is cleaner. One straight hit by the right hurricane and your island will be gone forever, along with everything on it. I have no idea why anyone can buy flood insurance to build on that sort of geography. Flood insurance is underwritten by FEMA. |
