They can and will tell us anything and hope we will buy it as long as they can keep making the big bucks rapeing our land and resources. Sad, really sad is all I can say.

LoopyLynda74, I live 5 miles from where the “tar mat” hit the beach. It devastated our area for years. Our environmental system is still being affected. Thank you for standing up for our environment.

Teslasgirl66, In case you don't know we get most of our oxygen from plankton so while you are more concerned for a few lives try thinking about the entire population of all life on earth. They used things to clean up the oil that are not that much better than the oil itself. Oh and be sure to ask the folks who were affected how they feel about the no harm to the area statement.

we have contaminated our oceans and made it hard for marine life to continue to exist. no one seems to understand that sea life cannot exist under the pollutants even to the whales and dolphins and other life that would rather beach themselves than continue living. so sad for them ultimately for us.

Do you know what's really messed up??? The U.S.A. is not allowed to drill for oil off our own shores/ Gulf of Mexico,etc. Foreign Countries can example Deep Horizon is owned by B.P.(British Petroleum) Made a hell of a mess,destroyed a lot of people's lives. And the U.S. had to clean-up the mess, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT PICTURE?🤥

Jethrine321, so is it safe to take it you don't drive a car? Is it fine to do it in the mid-east rife with turmoil? I say if it has to be done as from a practical perspective it seems it does then we should do it safely to protect the people on the rigs. Big business sacrificed the safety of their people to save a buck (literally a drop in the bucket of their whopping profit) and I believe that is cause to be incensed but you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. People use oil. If their safety had been prioritized our ocean would have been safer too.

Player Tystyx, bp cut corners, period, they were at fault, we have more oil than the middle east, and can retrieve it much more safety than BP was doing off shore, oil is used in lots of what we use on a daily basis, we can use oil, and still not destroy the environment.

This spill almost entirely eliminated the Apalachicola oyster, let alone what it did to less visible species
