They talk about the fishing industry.  They talk about the tourist industry.  They'll show you a dead turtle or jellyfish.

You will not find one single word since May 1, eleven days ago, about closed oil rigs.  On May 1 they announced that they closed two oil rigs.  Nothing since then.

With all of the oil and natural gas floating near the surface of the water, they have to close all the oil rigs in the gulf.  That means no gasoline.  Gas shortages.
They won't talk about gas shortages because this time it is going to be different from Katrina.  This time, the rigs won't start up again until the leak is fixed.  The last time this happened in the Gulf it took 9 months to fix.  It took 9 months and the leak was 150 feet deep.  9 months to fix a leak that was 150 feet deep.

This is 3 leaks and it is 5,000 feet deep.

How long do you think it will take to fix this leak?

How long do you think we can go without gasoline?

THAT is what they aren't talking about in the immediate future.

It will get worse from there.
