The politics of the spill clean up is disgusting. It is amazing how, for a few political points, politicians, local and national, are willing to destory the environment even further.
Despite the overwhelming scientific community condemning the burning of the oil debris going on in LA, Gov. Jindal wants it because it is "big", "visible" and lets people see that he is actually doing something to save the state - despite the fact that what he is doing is going to destroy it over the long haul.
The short-sightedness of it all is disgusting.
It would be amazing to see a country like China clean up their oil spill through bioremediation and show the U.S. how environmentally destructive we are. Sad...
