Less than a week before the Gulf Oil Spill, we wrote ... by gimleteye
Re-read, in case you missed it, by clicking this link to "Why Offshore Drilling is so bad for Florida", published less than a week before the Deepwater Horizon catastrophe. Read, in particular, the comments and post your own, below.

perhaps mankind's inability to understand the risks of technology or learn from the past is nature's way of ensuring the species doesn't stay at the top of the food chain.
and besides, florida is only one state, right? we've still got 40-45 or so that haven't been completely destroyed, amirite?
I think the number is lower than that if you count how many states have aquifers that have been contaminated. There's always Alaska. But there's Sarah Palin.
Here's one for the friggin' know-it-alls:
Mississippi water in the Florida Straits

Yo, Bloggers! ^^^^^^^^^^ When you post a link for others to use, please make sure the link works BEFORE you post it!
Otherwise, you're just wasting our time. Friggin' 'know-it-alls'
You've also warned us about Turkey Point. When I think of the people in charge of that place, I really start getting scared.
Where is "Underdog" when you need him? After he efficiently takes care of all the oil in the gulf ( and now hitting the loop current ) he could tackle the molotov cocktail bombers hitting parts of North Miami...I mean, really, maybe Turkey Point should blow at this point and wipe the slate clean. Wonder if South Florida would turn out any differently in 100 years.
The link works. What's your point?
When you cut and paste the link you provided, it brings up a big "FORBIDDEN" "You do not have permission to view this file."
I don't know about you but whenever this happens I conclude that the poster did not do their "do dilingence" before posting the link.
YOUR LINK DOES NOT WORK! FIX IT!
thank you
Maybe it's your browser.
