Day-trip to Grand Isle

After flying to the site of the blowout, I drove to Grand Isle, Louisiana. Everywhere across the extensive marshes, in any sweep of view, tools of the oil industry pierced the skyline.
Oil has hit heavily here.
And the residents are not happy.
Who can blame them?
Hey, Carl.
Thanks for your continued reporting. I’m speaking to some local activists tonight, and will use your stuff and refer to your blog and website. SDPB is covering. I’ll send you link to the radio program once it airs. No degrees of separation. The Gulf of Mexico used to be here. SI
