Destin Oil Spill Update for Friday May 21, 2010

As of last night, as reported on CNN, BP is stating that the plan for a "top fill" should be taking place this weekend. With the oil now infiltrating the wetlands of Southern Louisiana, we don't have to look too far to see what could happen to the entire gulf coast if this well isn't stopped soon. If people think it will just affect the economy of gulf coast towns and our fishing industry, we only need to look to the fact that the oil has already reached the loop current that circles the Florida coastline and could take the oil right up the eastern seaboard of the United States. Since most of the population lives along the eastern seaboard, and most of the fish that we eat comes from the Gulf of Mexico, the overwhelming effect of this catastrophe is not even imaginable. Greed has done it again!! Go BP!
