I know it's BP's fault, but why aren't the Feds helping them out?

we've given a shit for the past 25+ years.


no one has cared until recently, and they still don't for the most part.


Basically after the 192X flood of New Orleans, the Army Corps built levees all the way to the mouth.

They've kept the river from shifting channels (to the Atchafalaya River) and have forced it's rich waters off the continental shelf. These waters used to replenish marsh, but they can't do that when that's the case.


Then when oil drilling became big in the 50s down here, canals were cut all over the marshes and basically exposed them to saltwater intrusion and increased erosion (more areas exposed to open water).

It's really, really really sad.


We've lost some 3,400 sq. miles of coast over the past century.

Ever since Obama received a 77 thousand dollar contribution from BP (the most towards any president/politician), thats all he thinks of as well

coming back to galveston on the cruise ship i was on last week i could actually smell the spill, it was horrific.

Brooke is right

easy fix.. 1 match.

sounds like we should blow up all man-made structures on the coast and ban people

beats relying on the towelheads for oil. as long as they keep the disasters in the shitty parts of america that nobody cares about, ie the entire southeast. say, is there any oil in the great lakes?
