It Just Gets Worse

Gulf oil spill swiftly balloons, could move east

The government and the corporations are not doing enough to take care of the environment. They seem powerless at this point to stop the oil spill, and this is not just one oil taker full of petroleum. This could potentially go on for months, ruining the entire Gulf of Mexico for years to come. They need to come up with a real plan and then execute it as soon as possible. Perhaps it was a mistake to drill so deep underneath the ocean in the first place. There comes a point where we must reassess the very structure of our technological society and ask if we should not start moving away from petroleum. This is a big problem which will take a great deal of brainpower to formulate solutions for. I hope that they can indeed solve the problems facing our world. If not, then perhaps we should consider a change in planetary management.
