The economy is not the most important thing in this situation...I just want to make that clear. I have spent days and days reading all about this disaster. The sadness I feel is over the loss of life involved. In the simplest form, human greed has poisoned our planet. This is the most important issue at hand. However, what will the long term economic affects be in already unstable world economy?

The oil spill off the Gulf Coast might just get a whole lot worse in the near future. What will happen when hurricane season starts in less than one month?

The 2010 hurricane season is less than a month away. The official start date is June 1st and goes until November 30th. I'm no expert but I'm logical enough to think that this could make a terrible situation, a horrific situation.

For the last few hours, I have been reading through articles and commentary about the Louisiana coast oil rig disaster. The reality of the situation is starting to sink in. This is a tragedy that I can't even completely comprehend right now. While we watch the updates through our chosen news source, things are getting worse by the second. Damage is being done on so many levels that it is hard to focus on the big picture.
