This is upsetting. The Gulf Coast is such a wonderful natural resource. There are quite a few wildlife sanctuaries in the area. Hopefully something will work. We desperately need a way to clean these awful things up. Our coastal areas are too precious and our wildlife is fragile. We really both.
My hubby was telling me today of a Mexican oil well, that had a similar issue back in the '70's -- spewed oil for 9 months; I sort of remember it, but not a lot........
Let's just hope they come up with a solution soon.
