Oil Told You So …

Posted by Cynical Sarah on April 30, 2010

I hate to say “I told you so,” but … I told you so. (Ok, maybe I do like saying it.) Offshore drilling isn’t worth the risk it poses to the environment. Our time and efforts are better spent finding alternative, clean energy sources instead of wasting time allowing more off-shore drilling as part of President Obama’s economic and environmental plans.

The disaster on Deepwater Horizon and the resulting oil leak pretty much made the point clear for me and any other environmentally conscious person who was objecting to allowing more drilling. The initial explosion on the oil rig was a tragedy. The resulting 5,000 barrel-per-day leakage of oil into the Gulf of Mexico is an environmental disaster.
