Is this enough oil for ya, Sarah?42,000 gallons a day!
This is heartbreaking:
The oil is escaping from two leaks in a drilling pipe about 5,000 feet below the surface. The leaks threaten hundreds of miles of coastline in four states, with waters that are home to dolphins, sea birds, and prime fishing and tourism areas. Concern Monday focused on the Chandeleur and Breton barrier islands in Louisiana, where thousands of birds are nesting. If the oil continues oozing north, the white-sand beaches in Mississipi, Alabama and west Florida could be fouled. 4,000 acres of oyster grounds that could be affected if the spill worsens.

...companies have also aggressively opposed new safety regulations proposed last year by a federal agency that oversees offshore drilling.
Keep on drilling, America! You reap what you sow.
