"And in the long term, no one knows what the impact of those hundreds of millions of gallons will be, deep in the waters of the Gulf of Mexico." This is what concerns me.

I was never expecting the estimated amount of oil to be as large as they say, but just the same, it was not refined or processed in anyway. Nature will help with the clean up, but the disater is worse on the financial side than it is on the ecological side. Anyway that is this pothead's take on things.

it was said earlier that the real damage was going to be wherever the oil hit onshore because that was much harder to clean up. they have already opened a few previously closed fishing areas.
