This disaster in the gulf of mexico is very bad for the wildlife. Im shocked about this disaster because i thought this would never happen but now that it did i think offshore drilling isnt a good thing. it is good but they should have an immediately back up plan if something would happen to go wrong.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a horrible thing thats going on but i think its even more terrible that they cant figure out how to fix it.
ReplyDeletethis will greatly affect the oceanlife in the gulf. the shrimp population will decrease dramatically.
no it doesnt change my views because accidents happen, we cant help it. we just have to be more careful when were drilling.
i think it is really bad that iol is washing up on the shores and it gona riase the price of crab and fish because the iol is gona kill most of them .
ReplyDeleteMy thoughts are that there was a meltdown that wasn't even known about. It will impact the Gulf of Mexico by them not being able to have very much oil. The wildlife will be affected because the oil is destroying many of they habitats. No because that was just one incident.
ReplyDeleteMy own and true thoughts on this oil spill has impacted my life because i fish and its horrible that so much oil has gone into the ocean and they have tried so many times to stop it.This tromendous oil spill in the gulf will cause thousands of wild life to die and the gulf to be polluted. This will impact people all along the gulf because of their water supply and how they go though their lives. This also will affect the economy because some of that oil comes to use and now oil prices are going to go sky high again. No because oil is in a daily lives and without it we could go anywhere or even heat our homes.
ReplyDeleteI think this is horrible. Many animals could be harmed or killed and many innocent people could get sick because of it as well
