your solutions?? cry and b!tch and moan? It was an ACCIDENT. These things do happen you know. it sucks but the silver lining is that it is probably not going to happen again.

but fupa, what do you recommend we do besides wait until it gets here and then clean it up? Go down there and clean it up? Not allowed. Write the congressman? Plenty of people already have. Buy a boat and drag some bed sheets throught the gulf? Not gonna cut it.
Tell us your thoughts...
Join surfrider and pressure your government to do SOMETHING. ANYTHING!!! I swear people have the worst ADD in the world. AGAIN!!!!!! UGH, this thread was started to see if anybody on here knows the, EFFECTS OF A TROPICAL STORM DURING AN OIL SPILL????????? I can go back and forth all day, but its a waste of time for everyone.
I know I always loved the attitude that since it is not close to home "forgetaboutit". This goes for war an anything else that is not right in "our" backyard.Originally Posted by fupafest
Maybe when it gets here it will be to late....
Sort of sad but hey, that is how our leaders run the world so why be prepared and take preventative actions in the first place?
An accident don't I recall them using a part that did not fit correctly? Or I could be dreaming....
join surfrider? what is that going to do?
Before your further whine about govt action read this: http://abcnews.go.com/WN/bp-oil-spil...ry?id=10946379
govt is actually hindering REAL action by people directly affected!
Instead of giving you a slick senseless response...hopefully I can YOU invovled. Surfrider is really one of the only organizations that has OUR interest in mind. Power comes in nubmers so more people supporting a view the more likely it is to be heard. NOW, the real point. Surfrider is currently one org that is fighting to keep offshore drilling off the Jersey Shore. This may prevent a future disaster in our own back yard!!! Now is Surfrider still stupid?
you sound like a NIMBY supporter. i agree that panic and fear dont do us any good, but all of us should still be concerned since the oil is absolutely impacting our shared interest, the ocean.
Concern is one thing, fear mongering is another.
Fupa, do a little research on surfrider and see what happens when surfing and the environment conflict (piping plovers in NC). surfrider doesnt always our interest in mind.
To reset tho...
As far as it getting into the loop and hitting NJ. Highly unlikely.
Getting sucked up and then raining back down on us? I think there was a thread a few weeks back that addressed this and the conclusion was that oil would not get sucked p into a storm like acid rain.
