Excerpt: "The oil is not gone; it keeps coming in places like Grand Isle, LA, and Biloxi,MS, rolling in with the tides as globs of tar balls and sheen. Louisiana beaches near Port Fouchon and parts of the rich fishing grounds in Barataria Bay remain still closed due to oil contamination."

The oil is still not gone one year after the BP oil-spill disaster hit the Gulf of Mexico, and fishermen struggle to survive. (photo: John Moore/Getty Images)

Comments  

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

BP is controlling via lawyers data and facts. They hire "consultants" - and IF the "environmental" agencies "scientists" want to get payed - they have to lie:
"a “future factor” payment, which is intended to address the risk, if any, of future loss caused by the spill. When the GCCF issued its Final Methodology in February 2011, it noted that “[t]here is evidence of a strong economic recovery
underway” in the Gulf."
All is controlled by BP MONEY and Lawyers in Obama corporate administration.

They'll never get their lives back. Ask the people of Alaska effected by the Exxon Valdez spill.

People want to drive their Escalades, then there will be a price. The folks off the gulf coast are paying it while the rest of the country drives and drives. Who needs more than 12 mpg?
