It's here!

The oil has been brought into Galveston. They found tar balls from the oil washed ashore.
One newspaper said it could have been brought in by a ship, but they are keeping a look out for the possibility of more.

It really makes me ill to think of all the life that is being lost from this. I am so sad, life as we know it, could be disappearing.

I have been to padre (sp? ) island twice, back before it became so full of tourist stuff. A beautiful place. I can't imagine the oil and what it destroys, or that it could go on for our lifetime. I am so sorry for all of you, a tragic loss in all directions.

We're going to be feeling the effects of this for decades to come...

And yet, there's still no forward movement on setting up distribution and sale points for alternative fuels for cars that have been viable for DECADES.

I don't know what it's going to take to break the spell fossil fuels hold over us.

THIS. It pisses me off that the technology is there, it's just not being used

Agreed. I'm afraid it might be when the cost of gas becomes prohibitive.

I am sickened at the thought of all the damage that is occurring every second that this continues--the effects are and will continue to be devastating in so many ways.
