From all that has been said, who among us has considered what affect the chemicals being used, to push the oil below the surface, will have on the safety of eating seafood? Unless they ban the harvesting of all species from the entire Gulf there is a risk of us consuming chemical polluted seafood. How many decades will it take just for the oil to come off the rocks. Valdez Oil is still soaked into the rocks and sand from years ago.

I believe the Gulf will be declared a "dead zone" for a very long time.

Someone mention the rising gas prices. In my neighborhood it was $2.90 last night, haven't heard what it is today.
