The Gulf oil spill disaster threatens to reach its poisonous tentacles far from the oil spill’s point of origin. As 210,000 gallons of crude oil continue to leak daily into the Gulf of Mexico, experts fear that the Gulf’s powerful Loop Current will draw in millions of gallons of oil and send it rushing around the Florida peninsula and north as far as North Carolina.
The Loop Current begins in the warm waters of the Caribbean and moves north and clockwise toward Florida where it becomes part of the Gulf Stream. Anything the Loop Current carries ends up in the Gulf Stream, which will then carry it along its own lengthy path. High enough winds could sweep the oil slick towards the Loop Current and, if the Loop grabs it, the scene will get very ugly very fast.
The Gulf Stream hugs Florida’s eastern coast. Oil carried by the Gulf Stream could easily reach Miami’s beaches. As if this isn’t bad enough, the Gulf Stream could carry the oil to other fragile ecosystems along the eastern seaboard up to and possibly beyond Cape Hatteras National Seashore in North Carolina. If this happens, the environmental impact will be horrific.

An oil addicted nation the U.S.A. is trying to choke down the gulf damage, while going out and buying more V-8 cars! to survive! An astounding paradigm shift from oil energy to domestic electric energy is needed for the U.S.A. to survive, but it will never happen! As the Cheap Oil Era fades and China builds Nuclear/electric sourced electric bullet train networks in preparation for the end of cheap oil, America forges ahead on the oil front - a Halliburton pipeline pipe-dream in northern Afghanistan the soul goal of the war there! Turkmenistan's oil soon to be piped! America needs to develop domestic electric energy from Solar, Wave, Wind,Hydro, Tidal, Geothermal, and Nuclear resources, and soon! Raping the world for more oil is good if more oil is out there, but there are few folk left to invade for their oil! Time to get to work at home and develop electricity domestically.
