The current oil leak (as of April 27, 2010) from the Deepwater Horizon rig owned by British Petroleum is a man-made disaster of epic proportions that threatens to disrupt the lives and life cycles of ALL sea life on the Gulf Coast for decades to come.
42,000 gallons of oil a day are pouring into the waters of the Gulf of Mexico and nobody has figured out how to stop it.
It will destroy many natural habitats for fish/sealife and animals as well as humans. It will disrupt the lives of many people who are dependent on the gulf for their livelihoods.
Drilling like this without emergency shut off equipment and procedures is an un-excuseable lapse of safety and ethics. Please comment to deny any further deep-water leases until these concerns are met fully and openly by the oil companies to http://ocs5yeareis.anl.gov/.
