Oil Spills and Building Friendships One Blog at a Time

 

Oil has been gushing since April 20th!
It’s June 4th!

• According to government estimates. that  between 21 million and 46 million gallons of oil has spewed into the Gulf.
• The Obama administration sent BP a “preliminary bill”   for $69 million to reimburse taxpayers for cleanup costs
• The Small Business Administration now has a program to provide low-interest loans to coastal businesses while they await BP compensation.
• The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reported 522 dead birds — at least 38 of them oiled — along the Gulf coast states, and more than 80 oiled birds have been rescued. It’s not clear exactly how many of the deaths can be attributed to the spill.
• A detailed computer modeling study  indicates that oil from the massive spill in the Gulf of Mexico might soon extend along thousands of miles of the Atlantic coast and open ocean as early as this summer. The modeling results are captured in a series of dramatic animations produced by the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and collaborators.

My question for you is, what are your concerns about this oil spill?

For me…it’s the wildlife, the environment ant the possibility of higher prices at the pump from either a tax to pay for the clean-up or from the lack of supply.

Welcome to the 2nd Friday Follow hosted by our awesome hostesses, Stephanie at Babes Rockin Mami, Michelle at Mommy Loves Stilettos, and Laura at Vodka Logic! Thank you ladies for being willing to host! I approached them first before we announced the website.

We expect you to be on your honor and to have fun. These are only guidelines to make it more enjoyable for you. Here’s how YOU can join the Friday Follow celebration:
