Oil Spill: What's at Stake for the Environment? Video

May 1st 2010

NBCs Mark Potter reports on the environmental impact the oil spill will have in the Gulf Coast.

Oil slick emergency spreads to Florida
Sat May 1 2010- http://itn.co.uk/ed44bc603f932506b23bb2a5516435c7.html

A state of emergency has been declared in Florida's coastal counties because of the threat from the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.

The spill that threatens to become America's worst environmental disaster in decades, spread out of control and started washing ashore along the Gulf Coast on Thursday night.

The oil slick is threatening 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.

Louisiana declared a state of emergency on Thursday before the spill reached land.

There are also fears the crisis will deepen in the region after the US Coast Guard reported that an inshore oil rig overturned near Morgan City, Louisiana.

Meanwhile, President Barack Obama said that domestic oil drilling remains an important part of US energy policy, but must be done responsibly. He said any future offshore tracts leased to companies to search for oil would be subject to better safety measures to prevent and control spills.

Louisiana oil spill may be five times bigger than previously thought- http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/7664907/Louisiana-oil-spill-may-be-five-times-bigger-than-previously-thought.html

Fast safe deep? ...
Fast safe deep? plug at impermeable layer WILL NOT BLOW OUT UPPER SEABED nor crack rock 2 miles below. How tall is Oilpool? Open BOP. Long iron billet 14inch diam. can stand on oilpool bedrock to support 1.5 million lbs of stack weight (more billets). First 200' must be debris-maker glued-up grenades (golfballs,epoxy,iron) Detonate. Stack achieves counter-pressure on new DEEP debris plug. Calculate load distribution for 50 cables if oilpool is too tall. Did drillstem fall down drillhole?

Then why doesn't ...
Then why doesn't our President send in the Navy with pumps and pump the oil on to barges so it does not ruin the beaches? Why don't they dispatch the Army Navy Marines national guard to the beaches? The president has control and he is sitting on his hands. Oh and google this: Boots & Coots (oil fire fighting company) sold to to Halliburton (HAL) for $240.4 mi hours before the fire. . Goldman Sachs & BP CEO sold BP shares right before the fire. Both Obama? supporters.

if? they only knew
if? they only knew

I'm getting ...
I'm getting angerier because all these idiots talk about is "what happens when oil slicks hit land?" While that is a disaster the real damage is done to the OCEAN and specifically the ocean's inability to produce oxygen. Last time I checked we? STILL needed oxygen to breath! I wonder if BP is already gearing up to sell us our oxygen (the same way they now sell us water to drink).

exactly!?
exactly!?

This? is ...
This? is Unacceptable..

subtitlesinenglish ...
subtitlesinenglish go f**k yourself and burn? in hell more and more animals are going to die

@SubtitlesInEnglish, what's? funny about that? it indicates what year it occurred.

Thanks for ...
Thanks for peppering the clouds and opening the damns up north,Tennessee is flooded, you said you were going to open the damns and you did.Are the British going to pay for this. I have not heard were BP is going to dump all this oil their skimming, maybe in Britain. Why are the British? drilling here anyway, what loyalest to the Great Britain allowed this country to take over our oil, coal mines, and our banks. Didn't they say they were going to take over the USA and not fire a shot. THEY HAVE !!
