In response to the widening disaster in the Gulf of Mexico, government officials have approved a plan to intercept the oil by building a 45-mile sand berm. There are many stupid things being said in this mess but this ranks right up near the top. I hope BP pulls the plug on this one by refusing to pay for it. I don't know squat about oil drilling but I do know something about construction......you don't build anything without months of design preparation esp. if you are building in the ocean which is subject to all kinds of currents and storms. Jindal is a hot head with national ambitions who needs to take a chill pill. But scientists fear the project is a costly boondoggle that will inflict further environmental damage and do little to keep oil off the coast. I'll drink to that one. Oil continues to gush from the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, with the U.S. Geological Survey estimating that as many as 28 million gallons of oil have been released into the Gulf, compared to 11 million gallons from the Exxon Valdez spill. I wish they would stick to either barrels or gallons instead going back and forth.....it makes me confusing.
