Oil in the Gulf, two months later 

This incident will change the face of our existence forever. We will suffer the effects of this travesty for generations. We have been rolling the dice for years, options for oil alternatives have been around for years and have been oppressed by big business and bigger wallets.  This is a HORRIBLE travesty, and this LEAK MUST BE STOPPED NOW...

62 days have passed since the initial explosion of BP’s Deepwater Horizon drilling rig in the Gulf of Mexico, and the crude oil and natural gas continue to gush from the seafloor. Re-revised estimates now place the flow rate at up to 60,000 barrels a day – a figure just shy of a worst-case estimate of 100,000 barrels a day made by BP in an internal document recently released by a congressional panel. Louisiana’s state treasurer has estimated environmental and economic damages from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill could range from $40 billion to $100 billion. Collected here are recent photographs from the Gulf of Mexico, and of those affected by the continued flow of oil and gas into the ocean.
