When companies are worth trillions, this isn't a big deal to them. The Pres has already made it clear we will continue to drill. With all the oil spilling, gas hasn't gone up. But when someone farts over seas we have an overnight increase.
The interesting part will be the long term effect starting at the bottom. From the sand to the inverts and up the food chain. Some life will be more efected than others, causing an imbalance in the food chain. We may see massive die off with millions of dead fish, shrimp and more to an over population of another species.The human loss is monitory. From food to tourism will take a huge hit. We'll get through it. I pray that Mother nature is swift and forgiving. I woild like to take the executives and boil them in oil. They are setting the stage for future disasters by downplaying the whole thing. Desensitizing the public.
