We don't hear
much now about the the BP oil spill in the Gulf, which was touted to be the
world's greatest environmental disaster. At the time of its occurrence, it was
anticipated to continue environmental problems for the Gulf Coast area for years
to come.
So much for the harbingers of fear.
An article in the
February 6 issue of C&E News says that swirling currents gave
hydrocarbon-eating microbes access to plumes, which sped up oil removal. We now
see regular TV advertisements encouraging holidays at the beaches of the Gulf
Coast.
