When you think about the oil spill in the Gulf Coast, do you think "man, I'm glad I don't live in that area?" Sorry folks, but this one affects us all, from the gas pump to the seafood we love. It may soon even affect the water we drink. There's tons of oil about to be swept into the eastern seaboard (uh, that includes the Carolina coastline). And the question remains, what's the best way to clean up this mess? Sure, BP will toss millions at the clean up effort, but how long will it take? And how will we be affected by this disaster. The bigger question is how do we clean up our unquenchable thirst and dependency on oil, both foreign and domestic? Maybe it's time to start drilling the great minds in this country to find new alternative energy sources that won't continue to destroy mother earth. Afterall, it's the only one we got, and it's pretty dirty right now.
